About This Project
AppFlowy is a comprehensive workspace platform engineered with Flutter and Dart that empowers teams to manage projects, documentation, and knowledge bases without sacrificing data sovereignty. Unlike cloud-locked alternatives, this open-source solution gives developers and organizations full control over where their data lives while delivering modern collaboration features.
The platform combines AI-assisted content creation with traditional workspace tools like kanban boards, wikis, and rich-text editors. Built on a flexible block-based architecture, AppFlowy supports everything from personal note-taking to enterprise-level team coordination, making it ideal for technical teams who need powerful features without vendor lock-in.
What distinguishes AppFlowy is its commitment to extensibility and transparency. The codebase leverages Flutter's cross-platform capabilities to deliver native performance on desktop and mobile, while its plugin system allows developers to customize workflows. Whether self-hosting or using cloud sync, teams maintain complete audit trails and data portability.
With active development and a thriving community of over 67,000 GitHub stars, AppFlowy represents a mature alternative for organizations seeking to escape proprietary workspace tools while gaining the flexibility to adapt the platform to their specific requirements.
