Anytype is a safe haven for your digital life. We believe your thoughts, plans, and private conversations should belong to you—and only you.

Most apps store your information on their own servers where they can read or scan it. In those systems, you essentially need permission to access your own data. Anytype is different. We’ve built a tool where you are the sole owner of your digital world.

• Local-First: Everything you create lives on your device first, not on a corporate server. You can work completely offline, sync across your own devices, or self-host your data. Whether you’re on a remote mountain or in a high-security office, you remain in control.
• End-to-End Encryption: Your data is protected by a digital vault where it is scrambled into a secret code. Only you, and the people you explicitly choose to share with, can access the information in your app. Nobody, not even the team at Anytype, can see what you’re working on.
• No Lock-In: You are never a hostage to a subscription or a service provider. You have access to your data and the Anytype software forever. Because you aren't dependent on any vendor, nobody can ever "switch off" your access to your own work—not even us.

In this short video, you will gain an overview of Anytype and how to get started.

Anytype lets you create different spaces for your work and personal life. Because each space is kept isolated, you never have to worry about your information being shared with the wrong people.

• Personal Spaces: A private sanctuary for your eyes only. Use these to organize your diary, manage to-do lists, and store important documents.
• Collaborative Spaces: Shared environments where you can work seamlessly with family, project teams, or entire communities.

On Anytype, your communication and your knowledge base are integrated together. chats and Broken link live directly inside your spaces, allowing you to hold private conversations right alongside your documents, tasks, and media.

Anytype is powered by AnySync, which is an open-source protocol we developed that supports high-performant collaboration over encrypted data and is offline-first. With every architectural choice, we aim to make fundamental digital freedoms unconditional. Here you can read more of our thoughts on cloud vs. local first internet.
