About AFFiNE
AFFiNE is a privacy-focused, local-first, open-source workspace for writing, drawing and planning. It is described as an alternative to Notion and Miro, merging documents, an edgeless canvas and tables in a single place.
On the canvas you can place rich text, sticky notes, embedded web pages, database views, linked pages, shapes and slides. Real-time collaboration and an AI assistant are included, and you can self-host it if you prefer.
Highlights
- Docs and whiteboard merged on one edgeless canvas
- Rich text, sticky notes, embeds, databases, shapes and slides as blocks
- Local-first storage, so your data stays on your disk
- Real-time sync and collaboration
- AI assistant for reports, slides and mind maps
- Self-hosting supported
