AFFiNE
AFFiNE is an open-source workspace combining documents, whiteboards, and databases for writing, planning, and drawing in one place.
What is AFFiNE
AFFiNE is a workspace application that brings together three main tools in one place: documents for writing and note-taking, whiteboards for visual thinking and drawing, and databases for organizing information. Unlike cloud-first tools, AFFiNE takes a local-first approach, which means your data lives on your computer first and only syncs to the cloud if you choose.
You can switch between document mode and whiteboard mode easily, turning any page into a drawing canvas and back again. This flexibility helps you work the way your mind works, not the way the software forces you to work. AFFiNE is completely open-source, meaning the code is public and can be customized. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and has mobile apps too.
How to Use AFFiNE
Getting started with AFFiNE is simple and flexible. Here are the basic steps:
Download the desktop app for Windows, Mac, or Linux from the official website, or access it through your web browser.
Create your first workspace locally on your device. Everything you create is saved automatically to your computer.
Start creating content by adding pages for documents or switching to Edgeless mode for whiteboard-style work.
Add blocks like text, images, tables, or drawing elements to build your content exactly how you want it.
If you want to collaborate with others, enable AFFiNE Cloud to sync your workspace across devices and invite team members.
Use the database features to organize information with tables, boards, and different views of your data.
For teams needing more control, you can self-host AFFiNE on your own server using Docker.
