About this project

AFFiNE is an all-in-one knowledge base and workspace designed as an open-source alternative to Notion and Miro. It integrates several productivity tools into a single platform, allowing users to switch between document editing and an edgeless whiteboard canvas. Key capabilities include: - Hyper-merged Workspace: Combines rich text, sticky notes, embedded web pages, multi-view databases, shapes, and slides on a single canvas. - AI Integration: Features AFFiNE AI for generating professional reports, converting outlines into slides, summarizing articles into mind maps, and prototyping apps via prompts. - Local-first Architecture: Prioritizes data ownership by storing data locally on the user's disk while supporting real-time synchronization and collaboration across platforms. - Deployment Flexibility: Supports self-hosting via Docker, allowing users to manage and fork their own instance. - Template System: Provides a variety of pre-built templates for vision boards, lesson plans, digital planners, and Cornell notes.
