AppFlowy
Open-core workspace for docs, wikis and projects you can self-host
What is AppFlowy?
AppFlowy is a workspace for documents, wikis and project databases that runs on the vendor's cloud or on your own servers. Pages combine rich-text content with databases that can be viewed as grids, kanban boards, calendars and charts, and several people can edit a page at the same time. AI features cover search across the workspace, writing help and meeting notes, with the option of running local or self-hosted models.
AppFlowy has a free plan. Paid plans start at $6 / month, billed annually (self-hosted One); cloud Pro is $16 per member. See every plan
Good for
- Teams that want a docs and projects workspace on their own servers
- Organizations with data residency or air-gapped requirements
- Individuals who want a free workspace that works offline
Worth knowing
- The cloud Personal plan is for 1 workspace owner with 100 MB of storage, and has no guest editors, page publishing or dashboards.
- Self-hosted plans are billed annually only, and the free self-hosted tier covers 1 user seat and the web app, not the desktop or mobile apps.
- The self-hosted server is a closed-source distribution under a commercial license; AppFlowy describes the product as open core.
- Cloud Pro is charged per member in each workspace, so two Pro workspaces are billed separately.
Key features
- Documents and wikis
- A rich-text editor with more than 40 content types for docs and team knowledge bases, with real-time co-editing and comments.

- AI search and writing
- Answers questions from workspace content with traceable sources, drafts text and auto-fills database columns. It can run on local or self-hosted models.
