Introducing Downloadable Forms: Your Form, Forever

Formstr now lets users download any form as a standalone HTML file, giving them complete ownership and independence from formstr.app. The form remains fully functional — including encryption and submission to Nostr relays — with no backend, no hosting dependency, and no internet required (until submission). This update supports offline use, self-hosting, censorship resistance, and long-term preservation of forms. It aligns with Formstr’s mission to minimize central points of failure and maximize user sovereignty. Unlike most traditional form builders, Formstr is the only known platform offering a fully portable, encrypted, Nostr-native form experience. Try it now at formstr.app.

Formstr is adding a unique new feature you don't see anywhere, which is why we had to write a whole article to explain to you what it is.

You can now download any form as a standalone HTML file.

That means your form lives in a single file you can open locally, share directly, host anywhere, or archive. It continues to work just like it does on Formstr — encrypting and submitting responses to Nostr relays.

You don’t need formstr.app to keep it alive.
As long as relays exist, your form does too.


💾 The Feature: Downloadable Forms#

With this update, you can:

The form is yours. The file is yours. It keeps working.


✍️ How To Use It#

  1. Go to formstr.app
  2. Create or open a form
  3. Click the “⋮” on the dashboard menu cards.
  4. Select “Download”
  5. The file gets automatically downloaded You can open it in any modern browser. The form will load instantly — and behave exactly as it does on the main site.

No internet required until submission. No calls to formstr.app. Just one file.


🧪 Use Cases#

Everything happens client-side. You’re in full control.


🧠 Your Form, Forever#

This feature is about more than convenience.

It’s about reducing dependencies — even on us.
It’s about building tools that are hard to kill, forkable, portable, and persistent.

Formstr lets you publish forms to the open web via Nostr.
Now it lets you take those forms with you — wherever, however, forever.
