AFFiNE
Alternative to Notion
AFFiNE is a next-generation workspace that unifies documents, whiteboards, and databases in a single application. It combines Notion's structured editing with Miro's visual collaboration capabilities.
- Block editor plus whiteboard — freely arrange text, shapes, and sticky notes on one canvas
- Edgeless mode with infinite canvas for brainstorming and mind mapping
- Database views including table, kanban, and calendar for flexible data management
- Local-first architecture with full offline functionality
- End-to-end encryption for privacy-protected cloud synchronization
- Cross-platform support for Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
Built with TypeScript and Rust using CRDT-based real-time sync, AFFiNE delivers a responsive editing experience. It serves both personal knowledge management and team collaboration needs under the MIT license.
