AppFlowy

Notes, docs and project pages go into AppFlowy, and what comes back is a shared workspace your team can edit together, with AI help for drafting and automation.

AppFlowy is an AI productivity workspace and note-taking tool built around control over where your data lives.

Privacy is the main draw.

End-to-end encryption is optional, and AI can run on your own device instead of a remote service.

You can also self-host AppFlowy, which keeps your data with you and avoids vendor lock-in.

That matters if your team has rules about where information is stored.

The app works fully offline, so you can keep writing without a connection.

It runs on desktop, mobile and in the browser.

The interface and content types are highly customizable, so pages can follow how your team actually works instead of a fixed template.

The catch is setup.

Self-hosting and on-device AI usually take more effort than a plain hosted app, and that is the trade you accept for control.
