Anytype

About Anytype

Anytype is the closest structural clone of Notion — objects, relations, templates and databases — rebuilt local-first with end-to-end encryption. Your data lives on your devices and syncs peer-to-peer, so there is no company server reading your notes.

It comes up repeatedly in r/macapps privacy threads as the Notion replacement that does not ask you to give up databases, the feature that keeps most people stuck.

Open source and free for personal use, with paid network storage tiers. Younger than Obsidian, moving fast.
