Comment summary: Anytype is praised for its privacy, offline capabilities, and versatility, blending features from apps like Notion and Obsidian. Users commend its local-first, open-source philosophy, and the robust structure built into its core. However, concerns include its steep learning curve, confusing terminology, and occasional instability, particularly in the desktop version. Anytype's ongoing development and active community engagement are seen positively within its user base.

I love that my data is on my devices, and I can sync between them even without an internet connection

"No Tracking" ? unsure, Exodus shows it has 1 Tracker called "Amplitude"

Currently, it is in the beta stage still and thus mandatory analytics. There is a plan to make telemetry optional in the future, but the use of analytics is for the developers to monitor the app's usage as they are still developing it.

@james "it is in beta, and thus, mandatory analytics"

🙄 Geez dude, what are you, like, America the screen name? "Yea well, that country over there is not very democratic, and thus, mandatory military bases have been set up there. Id explain more, but you probably just don't understand military mandates". Like 😑 I believe the guy was pointing out the inconsistency with your companies own claim of not tracking and identifying as privacy friendly. I dont think theres a law requiring analytics in beta stage development. And did you also say yall are "thinking about" making telemetry optional? As in, its gonna be on by default? So when you say "local first" you literally are saying "local first, data brokers aftwrwords". Thats lame bro.

Does this application have closed source code? This app has a github repository and statements from the developers about the open source code of the app, why does it say that the code is closed?

Anytype is source-available, but not open source. You can access the source code, but it's not released under an open source license.

There is some learning curve, but once I got used to it I said goodbye to Notion and never looked back. I use Anytype mainly as an all-round database/tracker and event calendar and couldn't be happier.

I'd love to see charts at some point, but I'm pleased with what they've included so far being still in development.

I thought it was open source. Why is it marked as proprietary ?

Paul
Mar 20, 2025

Because it's released under the “Any Source Available License 1.0” license, which is not an open source license.

Okay, I didn't know that. I'll take a look. Thanks

I can't believe I stumbled upon this note-taking powerhouse - it's seriously changed my whole organization game. Everything stays right on my computer where it belongs, and man, it runs smooth as butter. Even though they're still polishing things up, the team behind it is super responsive and actually listens to what users want. They're rolling out cool new stuff practically every week.

https://download.anytype.ioDownload install from this site. Github makes things complex Go to https://gallery.any.coop for the layouts or things will look pretty plain. Minor learning curve. Extremely customizable. Many templates. From Leo AI: AnyType does not have a built-in feature to directly import HTML bookmark files. Workaround by exporting your bookmarks to an HTML file, then importing that file into a tool like Notion, and finally exporting from Notion to Markdown before importing into AnyType. I imported a bookmark .html in for the heck of it, and now my AnyType is frozen.. this is difficult proof that the system is breakable. I uninstalled/reinstalled. Tried to put key in and it didn't work. "failed to run node can't init service 'common.accountservice': failed to read device keyfile: open : The system cannot find the file specified." Better to find out sooner than later.

What is Anytype?

Described as "The Everything App" on their homepage, Anytype is offline and local first. Anytype boasts full cross-device compatibility, supports Markdown, P2P syncing, encrypted cloud storage, and allows you to organize your notes and files using powerful and dynamic collections of different types of objects.

While Anytype is source-available, their license is proprietary, and does not allow commercial use of their code, which is a potential consideration for anyone thinking of contributing. Their license does, however, allow modification and redistribution for educational, personal, and other non-commercial uses.
