Escape Notion's pricing and vendor lock-in. These open-source alternatives give you wikis, databases, and docs — self-hosted and fully private.
Notion has become the go-to all-in-one workspace, but its proprietary format, rising prices, and cloud-only storage push many to alternatives. The tools here offer comparable features — rich docs, databases, kanban — while giving you full control over your data.
AppFlowy is the AI collaborative workspace where you achieve more without losing control of your data. Built with Rust and Flutter for blazing performance, it supports docs, kanban boards, grids, and calendars — fully self-hostable.
$docker run -d -p 8080:8080 appflowyio/appflowy_cloudAFFiNE is a privacy-focused, local-first alternative to Notion & Miro combined. Supports rich text documents, infinite whiteboards, and structured databases — all with real-time collaboration and offline-first architecture.
$docker pull ghcr.io/toeverything/affine-graphql:stableOutline is a fast, collaborative knowledge base for teams. It features a rich markdown editor, nested documents, backlinks, and powerful search. Used by teams at Kickstarter, DigitalOcean, and more.
$docker-compose up -dLogseq is a privacy-first platform for knowledge management. It uses a unique graph-based outliner approach with bi-directional linking. All data is stored locally as plain Markdown or Org files — you own everything.
SiYuan is a local-first knowledge management system with fine-grained block-level reference and Markdown WYSIWYG editing. Features a powerful query engine for relational databases between notes, offline-first, and optional sync.
$docker run -d -p 6806:6806 b3log/siyuan
