Secure, Offline first & Customisable Note-Taking

Anytype is a solid app for note-taking and kind of a personal knowledge management. It stands out for its strong focus on privacy and offline functionality. You don’t need to worry about your data being stored online, and that’s a big plus for privacy-conscious users. The app is highly customisable. You can create your own workflows and organise information the way you want. But it’s not the easiest to use at first. The interface takes some time to get used to, and there are still a few bugs here and there. However, I have been using it since the 2023 Alpha stage, and I can easily overlook them. If you’re looking for a secure, flexible tool that works offline, Anytype is worth a try. Just be ready for a bit of a learning curve.

Great Idea! Missing Some Features

I have overall really enjoyed working with Anytype. The product's flexibility is great, and has some fantastic relational features. However, it does lack some core functions that make it a worth-while alternative to the likes of Notion and Coda. It does not have a great 'Formula' System right now, which means it cannot do mathematical properties very well for any of the table components. It also does not has an API, which restrictions it connections with other applications. If these two additions were added, this product would be an easy pick, but for now, it is not worth the investment compared to other similar Second Brain systems.

Amazing UI, Bad UX

Anytype is a great local tool that's very pretty and nice to use. I've used it over a year for my studies and it has been reliable because I can access it anytime, anywhere. However, my main gripe with AnyType is navigating the UI as it's a bit weird, it doesn't feel as seamless as other tools like Notion, Evernote, and Reflect. I left Anytime because of this

Amazing potential

Even with the free sub, the potential of the app is crazy.

Good notion offline alternative

Probably the closest offline notion alternative. But the object based setup looks weird to me. But overall loved the approach of privacy and local first approach.
