# Anytype

> Local-first, end-to-end encrypted workspace for notes and data

Anytype is a local-first workspace for notes, tasks and structured data. Everything is an object with a type and properties, stored on your device and encrypted before it syncs to other devices or shared spaces. The app is free to use; paid memberships add remote storage and unlimited shared channels. The desktop client is published under a source-available license, and the team has announced a move to the MIT license.

## Key features

- **Objects, types and properties:** Every item is an object with a type, such as Note, Task, Person or Book, and properties like due date or priority that describe objects and link them together.
- **Calendar, gallery and kanban views:** Groups of objects can be laid out as a calendar, a gallery or a kanban board, then filtered and grouped by their properties.
- **Local-first encrypted sync:** Content is stored on your device and encrypted before it syncs, so the app keeps working without a connection. Sync can also run peer-to-peer over a local network.
- **Self-hosting and local-only mode:** Instead of Anytype's network you can sync through your own infrastructure, or turn sync off so data stays on one device.
- **Shared channels and chats:** Invite people as viewers, editors or admins. Changes appear instantly when members are online, and channels include encrypted chat threads.
- **Web publishing and Local API:** Any object can be published as a public static web page. A Local API, an MCP server and a CLI tool let other applications work with your data.

## Good for

- People who want encrypted notes that keep working without an internet connection
- Users who want the option to self-host sync or keep data on one device
- Small groups sharing a private, encrypted workspace with built-in chat

## Worth knowing

- There is no browser version; Anytype runs only as desktop and mobile apps.
- The free tier includes 100 MB of remote storage; more requires a paid membership.
- Everyone in a shared space can see everything in it; per-object permissions are not supported.
- In September 2026 the team announced a rebuilt successor, Anytwo, and said development of the current app will slow down.
