Recently I needed a simple NDA.
I expected the process to take five minutes.
Instead, I spent nearly an hour searching through templates.
The surprising part?
The templates weren't terrible.
They were just unnecessarily complicated.
The Common Problems
Most NDA templates I found had one or more of these issues:
Legal jargon everywhere
Outdated formatting
Forced downloads
Required signups
Poor mobile experience
For someone who simply wants to protect confidential information, the process felt far harder than it should.
Why Simplicity Matters
Most freelancers don't need a custom legal document drafted from scratch.
They need a straightforward confidentiality agreement that covers the essentials.
The easier the process becomes, the more likely people are to actually use NDAs when appropriate.
Building a Better Alternative
That frustration inspired me to build a free NDA generator.
The goal was simple:
Reduce complexity.
Generate documents quickly.
Make the experience accessible.

Final Thought
Many software ideas start with a small annoyance.
This one started with an NDA template that should have taken five minutes but didn't.
