Try it out

Local-first encrypted personal knowledge OS.

Anytype provides a secure and private space for users to create, connect, and organize their thoughts, projects, and data using 'objects' – flexible blocks of information. It operates on a local-first principle, meaning data is stored and owned by the user on their device, with optional end-to-end encrypted synchronization. The platform's 'Type' system allows for highly customizable data structures, enabling users to adapt it to virtually any use case, from note-taking and task management to building personal wikis.
