Anytype Desktop is the official cross-platform client for Anytype, a local-first, peer-to-peer, end-to-end-encrypted personal knowledge base. It lets users create pages, tasks, wikis, and databases with composable blocks while keeping data stored locally and synced across devices via the any-sync protocol.

Use cases

• build a personal knowledge base that works offline
• sync notes privately across devices without a cloud provider
• create wikis and journals with end-to-end encryption
• organize tasks and databases with a custom data model
• replace Notion with a local-first alternative
• share and collaborate on encrypted spaces peer-to-peer

When to choose

• you want full ownership and local storage of your notes and data
• privacy and zero-knowledge encryption are requirements
• you need offline-first access with optional P2P sync
• you want composable blocks for pages, kanban, and databases

When to avoid

• you need real-time multi-user collaboration with a central server
• you require a permissive open-source license (it uses Any Source Available License 1.0)
• you want a web-based client accessible from a browser
• your team depends on deep third-party integrations
