AppFlowy
Open-source Notion: databases, docs, AI you can host — Anytype's more wiki-native cousin for people who want the page tree, not the object studio, without a landlord.
Product preview
Overview
AppFlowy is Notion if the code must be yours: pages, databases, an AI you can host. Anytype is objects; this is the wiki.
It is rougher. The product is the license. If the page tree should not have a landlord, this is the wiki. If objects should be sovereign, Anytype.
