AFFiNE

AFFiNE is a free and open-source app that lets you create and manage a knowledge base adaptable to almost any purpose. You can use it as a personal journal, project manager, collaborative wiki, or information hub for an entire team. Its modular approach allows it to scale well for both individual and professional use.

A familiar interface from the start

One of AFFiNE's strongest points is its user experience. The interface is clean, clear, and easy to understand, especially if you've used tools like Notion or Miro. Everything is built around blocks and pages, making it effortless to structure information. The app also includes an AI assistant that can help you complete tasks, generate content, or answer questions about how the app works.

What the free version includes and what Pro plans add

You can use AFFiNE for free with very few restrictions. It offers cloud storage (3GB), device syncing, and access to most editing tools. For users who need more, the Pro plans expand storage space up to 100GB, enable simultaneous collaboration with additional users, and unlock advanced features such as continuous access to the AI assistant.

Tools designed for creating and organizing information

Within each page, you can add rich text, tables, lists, headers, links, images, and smart blocks. There are also ready-to-use templates that serve as starting points for new projects, saving time during initial setup. Everything is designed so your information grows in an organized, easy-to-maintain structure.

Cross-platform and fully synced

Although this is the AFFiNE client for Mac, it's also available for Windows and Linux, with mobile versions currently in development. All content syncs automatically across devices and users connected to the same database, allowing you to work from anywhere without relying on a single machine.

Download AFFiNE if you're looking for an open, modern, and flexible way to organize knowledge on Mac, with full control over your data and a very approachable learning curve.
