Collabora Office brings the full Collabora Online interface to Linux, Windows, and macOS as a native desktop app, offering offline editing and strong document compatibility.

Collabora Productivity has announced the release of the first desktop version of its Collabora Office, bringing the full Collabora Online interface to Linux, Windows, and macOS as a native application.

For those who haven’t heard of the app, Collabora Office is an open-source office suite derived from the LibreOffice codebase, offering tools for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and vector graphics.

Until now, its most modern user interface—the one used in Collabora Online (COOL)—was available only in the browser. With this release, that interface is now packaged as a local desktop app running entirely offline.

    Anyone with some experience in both LibreOffice and Collabora?

    Since Collabora is based off LO, I’m curious why users would prefer one over the other. Any killer features missing from either? Is Collabora just a nice coat of paint?
