I Built a Free Event Waiver Generator (Because HelloSign Charges $180/Year for This)

I Built a Free Event Waiver Generator (Because HelloSign Charges $180/Year for This)

I needed to generate a waiver form for a yoga retreat I was organizing. I went to HelloSign and was hit with a paywall after creating an account. They wanted $180/year for a subscription just to generate a single waiver.

And every time I opened their app, I had to log in. My participants' names, emergency contacts, liability terms — all of it went to their servers. For a waiver generator. That's ridiculous.

So I built something better.

Event Waiver Generator runs 100% in your browser.

What you get:

  • Event information (name, date, location, organizer)
  • Participant details (name, DOB, phone, email)
  • Activity selection (yoga, climbing, martial arts, fitness, custom)
  • Pre-filled liability release language (editable)
  • Parental consent section for minor participants
  • Emergency contact fields
  • Live preview as you fill in the form
  • Download as professional PDF — no watermark, no ads, no limits
  • Your data never leaves your browser

Why I built it:

  • HelloSign charges $180/year. I shouldn't have to pay for something I use once per event.
  • They require an account. I shouldn't need one to make a waiver.
  • They process data on their servers. I want participant info to stay on my computer.
  • Their free tier adds watermarks. I want clean, professional waivers.

The app works completely client-side using pdf-lib. No API calls, no tracking, no servers. You can even use it offline once the page is loaded.

Open-source, free forever, no subscription trap.

Try it free · Compare with HelloSign

Built for yoga instructors, climbing gyms, martial arts schools, and fitness businesses who need waivers fast without paying for them.
