About this app

Anytype brings your conversations, docs, notes and databases together in one private app – offering powerful, local-first collaboration.
Everything you create is end-to-end encrypted, accessible offline, synced securely across devices – and always yours.
---
One app, different ways to collaborate:
• Chats – For collaboration in motion. Create notes, docs or tasks right from your chat window. Start group conversations with teammates or family, and plan ideas without leaving the chat. It’s the fastest way to move from talking to creating.
• Spaces – For structure and focus. Organize projects, teams, family or personal areas into docs, lists and databases. Keep secure notes and essential documents separate from shared work, with clear boundaries for each space.
---
What’s possible with Anytype:
• Create pages & notes – From quick memos to long-form documents with media.
• Edit with blocks – Combine text, tasks or embeds on one page.
• Define content types – Go beyond pages and create custom entities like CV or Research.
• Publish to web – Share your writing, ideas or a new CV beyond Anytype.
• Manage lists & tasks – From simple todos to complex projects.
• Add properties – Use fields like Tag, Status, Assignee or create your own.
• Sort & filter – Create custom views to organize content your way.
• Use templates – Reuse text blocks or bullet lists to speed up writing.
• Save bookmarks – Keep articles to read later or catalog important links.

Ratings and reviews

not very helpful that when I connect to my desktop, none of the settings are transferred over for my collections and things like that, which is stressful and adds unnecessary time to creating notes. This appears to be a common theme, where things could be done WAY more efficiently from a user's POV. I like the UI on desktop (wish the app was similar) I see tons of potential for this app for both the android and desktop versions once efficiency, parity, and consistency are taken into account.

I use this app and the desktop app constantly. I can vouch for both of them as top-tier products in the open source world. From where they are based (Switzerland)to their stance on security (zero knowledge) to their amazing native sync (virtually real-time) to their plugin ecosystem to their inline markup and keyboard/mouse access to formatting, Anytype is a hands down winner in my opinion.

I like the look of the UI very much and like that it uses apple style emojis for the main elements, i hope it doesn't change. It's very fast and snappy as well. I do insist on better parity with the desktop version most of all though. it's hard to switch between devices because some things are missing like views (and view settings) that were created on desktop, which don't appear on mobile. Also hope for more QOL features and thoughtfulness into existing features. otherwise it's pretty good.
