AFFiNE is an open-source, privacy-focused workspace that lets individuals and teams create, organize, and connect documents, whiteboards, and databases in one place.
AFFiNE is an open-source, privacy-focused workspace that unifies documents, whiteboards, and databases in a single interface. It is designed to support both structured and freeform work, allowing individuals and teams to plan, write, brainstorm, and organize information without switching tools. By running locally or self-hosted, Affine gives users control over their data while still supporting cloud sync across devices.
The platform combines rich text documents with powerful block-based editing, enabling users to create pages that include tables, tasks, embedded views, and relational data. Its infinite canvas whiteboards support visual thinking with sticky notes, shapes, connectors, and real-time collaboration, making it suitable for diagramming, mind mapping, and workshop-style sessions. Affine’s database capabilities allow users to define custom properties, filter and sort records, and switch between table, board, and calendar-like views. Offline support, version history, and cross-platform availability (desktop and web) help ensure continuity and reliability in daily workflows.
