## What it is
Anchor is an offline-first, self-hostable note taking application with a rich text editor, tags, attachments, and note history. Notes are stored locally, editable offline, and synced across devices when online, with web and Android clients.

## Use cases
- self-host a private note taking app
- take notes offline and sync across devices
- migrate notes from Google Keep
- share notes with other users on my own server
- attach images and audio to notes
- organize notes with tags and colors

## When to choose
- you want full control and privacy by self-hosting your notes
- you need offline editing with automatic sync when back online
- you want OIDC login with providers like Keycloak or Authelia
- you need both web and Android access with a home screen widget

## When to avoid
- you want a zero-setup hosted note service without running a server
- you need real-time collaborative multi-user editing
- you need iOS or desktop native clients
- you want markdown-first plain text workflows
