Private notes, databases and chats kept on your device

The verdict

Notion keeps your workspace on its servers; Anytype keeps it on your device, encrypted with keys only you hold, and syncs peer to peer. You still get a block editor, templates, and table, kanban and gallery views, and it works with no internet at all. The trade-off is space: the free plan has only 100 MB of remote storage, so heavy file users end up on a paid plan from $4 a month.
