Anytype - Public Beta - A safe space for your thoughts, private, local, p2p & open

Hello, Product Hunt! We are thrilled to announce the open beta for Anytype today! We believe that any software should support fundamental digital freedoms. With the rise of cryptography and computer systems, it's now possible to guarantee these freedoms in the digital world: privacy of thoughts, freedom of speech, right to authorship, and autonomy from software providers. With these principles in mind, we've crafted Anytype - an all-in-one tool that can help you organise your digital life. People use it to manage projects, organise collections of movies and books, for daily journaling, and a long tail of other use-cases. Anytype is a community product, built with the community. We listen, we improve, and we welcome you to join and give your perspective on how Anytype should evolve. Visit our community at community.anytype.io We warmly welcome you to our contributors' community, which we just launched today: https://github.com/orgs/anyproto... We're happy to answer your questions! Anton Pronkin Co-founder of Anytype

This is legit, and I would obviously say this as one of Anytype's first investors. But I was also one of their first users in the pre-alpha phase a while back. I distinctly remember how that version crashed and took down the entire office network. Today, I'm genuinely impressed, and very proud of @pronkin_ and @sharipova and @charmandro and @anton_barulenkov and @requilence and @yasyuk . I've just downloaded and synced a bunch of notes across my Mac, Pixel phone and iPad - and it worked like a dream. Now if you can just fix the onboarding process and simplify it, I'll be able to get my mom to use it too...

Anytype is the future of second brain and note-taking app. I was looking for an alternative to Notion, I love the features they have but I'm concerned about my privacy and security. I tried Obsidian and it is promising too but lacks features like Notion. I was looking for an alternative to both of them. I found Evernote and Nimbus Note but they are all overkill for my use case. I don't want to take so much time for organizing my things and again they are hosted on their servers and I'm still worried for my privacy. Until I come across to "toolfinder.co" website by Keep Productive and I saw this product! I was so amazed because this note-taking app uses cryptography and I can say this app is a "Web3" product which is perfect for me as I work in this industry. I love the idea and the principles of this product. As opensource and web3 advocate this is a must app for you to use when you want to organize your digital life. I can tell that Anytype is a combination of Obsidian and Notion but Web3. Just today I started to use this app as my main and permanent second brain. I'll probably include Anytype in my blog when I share my productivity apps. Great work out there!

Today, we are introducing an all-in-one app that is used for project management, strategic documents, daily notes, task management, collections of books, articles, and other interests, personal CRM. All of which are end-to-end encrypted, work offline, sync in a p2p way, and are blazingly fast. Anytype no-code interface allows to create anything visually - from web pages to data-bases and sites. We designed the architecture of anytype to provide creators with peace of mind. Everything you are creating is yours - it’s encrypted, you control the keys, the code is open source, so anyone can verify its workings. Additionally, you get some very cool features from the box - it works on all devices, these devices can sync in peer to peer way, and everything works offline without a loss of capabilities. This architecture is enveloped into a tool that is both powerful and fun to use. At the heart of anytype is a graph of objects - that allows to interconnect all your objects and also is a universal language for all spaces. Anytype was built as a hope. That if we put our ethos, our values as the foundation of its architecture we can deliver something meaningful for those of us who cherish the dreams of a different world. I hope you can feel love and commitment that we poured into this piece of software.

I've been a heavy user of Anytype at closed Alpha!!! Great product, finally I’ve replaced Notion and many other apps! So happy that it's public now! Finally, there is an app that protects my digital freedom!

I keep my neverending to-do list in Anytype. Syncs on all devices + is offline-first + I own my data 🤟🏻. With my text-only style, I'm far away from filling the remote backup node that Anytype provides to users (but additional options would be cool!)

Just discovered Anytype, but I love what I've found. Secure, private, offline, soon to be open sourced!

I was counting the days to this moment. Don't think I've not been so excited about a product launch in a while. I've been an investor and user from almost day 1. Today Anytype is a breath of fresh air. There are so many apps that look similar on the surface, but none solve the infrastructural issues of privacy, speed, and extensibility.

Anytype for me started with pure curiosity. In my school days, the internet was both costly and slow. I found myself building local networks with friends and crafting chat apps using raw TCP/IP. Fast forward to today, the landscape of app development has shifted. Many developers now lean on cloud platforms, supposed to hide from you the underlying technologies and challenges. However, this convenience comes at a cost: inefficiency, potential data breaches, and a loss of the data ownership. At the same time, over the past two decades, customer hardware has evolved remarkably. We now have affordable and speedy mobile internet, as well as smartphones with 1TB of storage. Given these advancements, the appeal of the cloud should have waned. Yet, many of us remain dependent on cloud providers and the tools that are tethered to them. So for me it was the challenge to build something useful, while using the technologies consciously in an efficient and truly secure way. When we began this journey, many said we were crazy – and perhaps they were right 😅! We encountered numerous challenges and had to address issues across the entire tech stack, rather than just focusing on user-facing features. However, this approach enriched our technical understanding and led us to more balanced solutions that remained true to our original principles. I'm so proud of Anytype team which made it possible and excited that it's now open for everyone.

I just checked out Anytype, and I'm blown away! It seems like an all-in-one solution that can revolutionize the way we organize and manage our digital lives. With its versatile features and customizable capabilities, I can't wait to explore how it streamlines my workflow and keeps everything in one place. This truly looks like a game-changer! 👏🏼
