Description
Anytype is a comprehensive application designed for privacy, data ownership, and creative composition. It ensures true privacy through local, on-device encryption where only the user holds the encryption keys. The platform guarantees continuous access to data with offline account creation and peer-to-peer sync on local networks, eliminating reliance on servers. Built on the principles of trust and verifiability, Anytype uses open protocols, allowing users to self-host backups and build new applications without permission. Its powerful, no-code creation tools include a block-based editor, databases, templates, and widgets, enabling users to compose visually. The app also allows for visualizing connections between data objects using graph and database views. It is designed to be fast, with offline-first functionality, rapid p2p syncing, and a native mobile experience on iOS and Android. Anytype is also an open ecosystem where contributors can enrich the system by writing code, translating the app interface, or crafting in-app experiences. The platform has an open code repository, a community for developers and contributors, and a gallery for users to share their experiences. The project is supported by a network of contributors in various fields including localization, gallery submissions, documentation, code, tooling, security, infrastructure, and community management.Grant Funding
