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.

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.

“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.

We would also like to give thanks to open-source projects that make AFFiNE possible:

• Blocksuite - 💠 BlockSuite is the open-source collaborative editor project behind AFFiNE.

• y-octo - 🐙 y-octo is a native, high-performance, thread-safe YJS CRDT implementation, serving as the core engine enabling the AFFiNE Client/Server to achieve "local-first" functionality.

• OctoBase - 🐙 OctoBase is the open-source database behind AFFiNE, local-first, yet collaborative. A light-weight, scalable, data engine written in Rust.

• yjs - Fundamental support of CRDTs for our implementation on state management and data sync on web.

• electron - Build cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

• React - The library for web and native user interfaces.

• napi-rs - A framework for building compiled Node.js add-ons in Rust via Node-API.

• Jotai - Primitive and flexible state management for React.

• async-call-rpc - A lightweight JSON RPC client & server.

• Vite - Next generation frontend tooling.

• Other upstream dependencies.

Thanks a lot to the community for providing such powerful and simple libraries, so that we can focus more on the implementation of the product logic, and we hope that in the future our projects will also provide a more easy-to-use knowledge base for everyone.
