## What it is
AppFlowy is an open-source AI collaborative workspace and Notion alternative for projects, wikis, docs, and task management, built with Flutter and Rust. It offers desktop and mobile apps with optional self-hosted cloud backend (AppFlowy-Cloud) providing real-time collaboration, sync, and AI features with full data control.

## Use cases
- self-host a Notion alternative for my team
- take notes and build a personal wiki with full data privacy
- manage projects with kanban boards and task databases
- collaborate on documents in real time across devices
- run an AI workspace on my own infrastructure with local LLMs
- publish team documentation and internal wikis
- replace Notion or Confluence without vendor lock-in

## When to choose
- you want an open-source, self-hosted Notion/Confluence alternative with data sovereignty
- you need cross-platform apps (macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android) with sync
- you want AI features (chat, summaries, auto-fill) powered by your own models
- you need wikis, docs, kanban boards, and databases in one workspace

## When to avoid
- you need deep third-party integrations or a mature plugin ecosystem comparable to Notion
- you want a zero-maintenance hosted SaaS without running any infrastructure
- you rely on advanced spreadsheet-like database features or granular permissions at Notion's maturity level
- AGPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your usage
