## What it is
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
