Local-first, encrypted knowledge management. Your data, your rules.
Anytype is a local-first knowledge management system that combines the flexibility of Notion with end-to-end encryption and offline-first architecture. Your data lives on your device, encrypted, and syncs peer-to-peer across your devices without any central server. For privacy-conscious users who want Notion-like power without giving up control.
Who it's for: Privacy advocates, researchers, and anyone who wants their notes and databases to remain theirs — permanently. Especially strong for personal knowledge bases and small team wikis.
Every object is encrypted on your device before syncing. No server can read your data — not even Anytype's. Zero-knowledge architecture means true privacy.
Devices sync directly with each other using a P2P protocol. No cloud dependency. Works offline by default — sync happens when devices are online.
Everything is an object — notes, tasks, people, books — with types, relations, and layouts. Build databases, pages, and sets with the same flexibility as Notion.
Visualize connections between your objects in a graph view. See how your notes link together and discover relationships you didn't know existed.
If you've ever been burned by a note-taking app shutting down or changing its pricing, Anytype is your answer. The local-first, encrypted approach means your knowledge graph survives any corporate decision. It's not as polished as Notion yet, but for privacy-first users, it's the best option available — and it's free.
