AppFlowy
appflowy.io
Open-source, privacy-first workspace for notes, docs, and project management — a self-hostable alternative to Notion that keeps your data local.
Why it is useful
AppFlowy stores data locally by default (with optional cloud sync) rather than requiring everything to live on a third party's servers, appealing to users who want Notion-style flexibility without giving up data ownership. It's under active development with native desktop apps for Mac, Windows, and Linux, plus a growing plugin/database system.
