AFFiNE.Pro
Write, Draw and Plan All at Once

affine logo

A privacy-focused, local-first, open-source, and ready-to-use alternative for Notion & Miro.
One hyper-fused platform for wildly creative minds.



AFFiNE - One app for all - Where Notion meets Miro | Product Hunt


Special thanks to Blaze for their support of this project. They provide high-performance Apple Silicon macOS and Linux (AMD64 & ARM64) runners for GitHub Actions, greatly reducing our automated build times.




Releases All Contributors TypeScript-version-icon


Docs, canvas and tables are hyper-merged with AFFiNE - just like the word affine (əˈfʌɪn | a-fine).

Getting started & staying tuned with us.

Star us, and you will receive all release notifications from GitHub without any delay!

What is AFFiNE

AFFiNE is an open-source, all-in-one workspace and an operating system for all the building blocks that assemble your knowledge base and much more -- wiki, knowledge management, presentation and digital assets. It's a better alternative to Notion and Miro.

Features

A true canvas for blocks in any form. Docs and whiteboard are now fully merged.

  • Many editor apps claim to be a canvas for productivity, but AFFiNE is one of the very few which allows you to put any building block on an edgeless canvas -- rich text, sticky notes, any embedded web pages, multi-view databases, linked pages, shapes and even slides. We have it all.

Multimodal AI partner ready to kick in any work

  • Write up professional work report? Turn an outline into expressive and presentable slides? Summary an article into a well-structured mindmap? Sorting your job plan and backlog for tasks? Or... draw and code prototype apps and web pages directly all with one prompt? With you, AFFiNE AI pushes your creativity to the edge of your imagination,just like Canvas AI to generate mind map for brainstorming.

Local-first & Real-time collaborative

  • We love the idea of local-first that you always own your data on your disk, in spite of the cloud. Furthermore, AFFiNE supports real-time sync and collaborations on web and cross-platform clients.

Self-host & Shape your own AFFiNE

  • You have the freedom to manage, self-host, fork and build your own AFFiNE. Plugin community and third-party blocks are coming soon. More tractions on Blocksuite. Check there to learn how to self-host AFFiNE.

Acknowledgement

“We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”. A lot of pioneers have inspired us along the way, e.g.:

  • Quip & Notion with their great concept of “everything is a block”
  • Trello with their Kanban
  • Airtable & Miro with their no-code programmable datasheets
  • Miro & Whimiscal with their edgeless visual whiteboard
  • Remote & Capacities with their object-based tag system

There is a large overlap of their atomic “building blocks” between these apps. They are not open source, nor do they have a plugin system like Vscode for contributors to customize. We want to have something that contains all the features we love and also goes one step even further.

Thanks for checking us out, we appreciate your interest and sincerely hope that AFFiNE resonates with you! 🎵 Checking https://affine.pro/ for more details ions.
