About

Anytype is a local-first, E2E encrypted tool for organizing your life. Build custom workflows with blocks and object types.

Anytype is the privacy-maximalist alternative to Notion, storing everything locally with end-to-end encryption and peer-to-peer sync. No servers ever see your data. The object system lets you create custom types (Tasks, Books, People, Projects) with relations connecting them into a personal knowledge graph. Build dashboards that aggregate views of your objects, create wikis with linked pages, or design custom workflows. Open source and community-driven, Anytype gives you complete control over your data. Currently free during beta, with plans for optional paid collaboration features. For users who refuse to compromise on privacy, Anytype is uniquely positioned.
