AppFlowy
Self-hosted Notion alternative for wikis and projects
AppFlowy is a privacy-first, open-source workspace for notes, wikis, and project management. With 60K+ GitHub stars, it's the leading self-hosted alternative to Notion. Get the same powerful features—documents, databases, kanban boards—without giving up control of your data.
Why AppFlowy?
Notion is powerful, but your company's knowledge base, project plans, and documents live on their servers. When they have outages, you can't access your own data. When they change pricing, you pay or lose everything. Teams need a workspace they truly own—one that's fast, flexible, and private.
How It Works
AppFlowy gives you a Notion-like workspace on your own infrastructure. Create rich documents, build databases with multiple views (table, kanban, calendar, grid), and organize everything in a nested page structure. It's built with Flutter for a native desktop experience and Rust for backend performance.
What Is AppFlowy?
AppFlowy is an open-source workspace that combines documents, databases, and project management in one tool. It features a block-based editor, relational databases, kanban boards, and a plugin system. Self-host for complete data ownership and offline access.
