About Anytype

Anytype is a local-first, peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted personal knowledge base for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It is for gathering, connecting, and remixing information in pages, tasks, wikis, journals, and apps while defining your own data model. Data stays offline-first, private, and encrypted across devices.

The desktop client keeps data in local storage with optional peer-to-peer sync, and zero-knowledge encryption is powered by any-sync. Composable blocks include text, databases, kanban, calendar, and custom Types, and it is extensible through a gRPC API and AI Agents. The client is built with Electron and TypeScript.

Anytype Desktop is available under the Any Source Available License 1.0, so anyone can build it from source. It is made by Any, a Swiss association. You sign in with an Any-ID, and installers are available from download.anytype.io for macOS, Windows, and Linux on both Intel and ARM systems.
