AFFiNE

MacVault Review

AFFiNE is an open-source knowledge base that merges docs, whiteboards, and databases into a single Electron-based desktop app with deep offline-first design. It supports edgeless canvas blocks, rich text, embedded pages, and AI-assisted writing as a privacy-respecting Notion and Miro alternative. Actively maintained with daily commits and 63k stars.

There can be more than Notion and Miro. AFFiNE(pronounced [ə‘fain]) is a next-gen knowledge base that brings planning, sorting and creating all together. Privacy first, open-source, customizable and ready to use.
