Anytype

Anytype is a tool for organizing your notes, tasks, files, and projects while keeping everything private on your device. You create content using objects, which are like structured notes with properties you can customize. For example, a book object can have an author, rating, and notes all connected together.

The app works offline and stores data locally with encryption, meaning your information stays on your device unless you choose to sync it. When you do sync, it uses secure connections between your devices. You can create databases, link related information, and build visual connections between different pieces of content.

There is a free plan with limited cloud storage, plus paid plans for those who need more backup space and advanced features like shorter custom names.

Using Anytype is simple once you understand its building blocks. Here are the steps to get started:

• Download the app for your device (Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, or iOS) and create your account. Save your recovery phrase carefully, as this is the only way to access your data.

• Start creating objects by clicking the plus button. Choose from templates like notes, tasks, or custom types. Objects can be text, files, images, or any content you need.

• Use relations to connect different objects together. For example, link a project to team members or connect book notes to their authors.

• Create collections to group similar objects, or use sets to automatically organize objects based on rules you define.

• Customize your space with widgets on the home screen to see your most important information at a glance.

• Enable sync across devices using the backup service, or keep everything local for maximum privacy.
