About
AFFiNE puts rich-text pages, an edgeless whiteboard canvas, and database views in one workspace, so the same content can be written as a document or laid out visually. Data is stored locally first, with optional cloud sync and real-time collaboration. The app is open source and can also be self-hosted.
