About Anytype
Anytype stores notes, tasks, and documents locally on your devices first. Your data doesn't live on company servers—it's yours, synced peer-to-peer when you choose to.
Information organizes as objects with types and relations, not just files and folders. Think of it as a personal database where everything connects to everything else as makes sense.
For people uncomfortable with cloud-hosted notes or wanting more structure than traditional apps provide, Anytype offers a different approach to personal information management.
