AppFlowy workspace platform

AppFlowy is an open-source, privacy-first alternative to Notion, developed as a collaborative workspace platform. Built with Flutter and Rust, the tool is designed to provide high-performance note-taking, project management, and wiki capabilities while ensuring that users maintain complete control over their data through local-first storage and self-hosting options.

The brand was founded in November 2021 by former ByteDance executive Anqi Annie Wang and former TikTok engineer Nathan Foo. Headquartered in Singapore, the company operates with a globally distributed remote team. AppFlowy is a privately held venture-backed startup, with major early funding led by OSS Capital and supported by notable tech figures such as the founders of Automattic, YouTube, and GitHub.
