I respect the choice of early 90s apple esthetics.
How close is this to feature parity with Notion in terms of the notes themselves?
I’m trying it and i would say it’s quite close. As far as I know, it lacks the last recent updates like action buttons and AI spam (that’s a positive one for me). But it has databases like Notion, my biggest requirement for a second brain, so I’m in.
I’ve been evaluating this for the last few weeks, and have decided to migrate all my notes over.
The free 1gb of cloud storage is incredibly generous, and since I don’t use much media in my notes, it’s really all I need.
Interested to see how they price it in the long run.

I’m interested to see the pricing before I jump on. It ticks every box with it being local/offline first and open source.
I’ve been reading their FAQ and this sounds very reasonable:
-
If you want to use their cloud for backup, it will have a cost (they have not come with one yet because they have not come that far yet. It’ll depend on their hosting cost and such).
-
But if you want to just sync between your own devices without their server, you can, and it’ll be totally free (they insist that “your data is always yours and only yours”)

Interesting. I have a few questions for those who have already tried:
- Does it work offline?
- Does it has databases like Notion?
- Does it has a browser extension to capture content from the web?
I know I can look for it myself on the web, and I’ll do right now, but I think that having here the answers will help others with the same questions.
Have been using it since early Alpha days, and I like it a lot but it definitely is still lacking some of the polish of more established tools like Notion.
- Does it work offline? Yes, it does. Your changes are saved locally and synced at the next opportunity. Obviously this can occasionally cause conflicts but in practice I’ve never had issues.
- Does it have databases like Notion? Not exactly. I was never a Notion power user so I can’t say how well they compare, but Anytype lets you define your own custom objects with custom relations (sort of like database columns) and link any objects together, as well as creating Sets of objects of the same type and Collections of objects of any kind. So I think in principle it can replicate all the features of Notion databases but in practice you’d want to change how you think about it to fit Anytype’s model more easily.
- Nothing like that yet, although they just open-sourced all their code and the devs are very active on the official forums receiving feature requests.
