# LibreSign

> LibreSign (v15.0.8, 7 Oct 2026) is an AGPL-3.0-or-later app installed inside a Nextcloud server, not a standalone service. It defines signing order and roles, includes internal and external signers, sends reminders, keeps a traceable record, validates signed documents and certificate status, and offers APIs. Setup generates a root certificate and downloads helper binaries. Useful mainly if you already run Nextcloud.
