# AppFlowy

> Open-core workspace for docs, wikis and projects you can self-host

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.

## 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.
- **Database views:** A database can be shown as a grid, kanban board, calendar, gallery, list, feed or chart, with filters and relations between databases.
- **Self-hosting:** Deploy on your own hardware, in your own cloud or in an air-gapped environment, and manage users and instance settings from an admin panel.
- **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.
- **AI meeting notes:** Captures meetings and writes up notes inside the workspace. The cloud Personal plan gets a limited trial and Pro includes it.
- **Sign-on and directory support:** SAML and OIDC single sign-on, SCIM, LDAP, MCP and public APIs. On self-hosted plans SCIM and LDAP start at the Team tier.

## 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.
