Replaces: Notion + Asana — the paid alternative. AppFlowy does the same job and the licence is $0: you pay only for the server it runs on.

- Your data stays yours. AppFlowy is self-hosted — it runs on your own server, so no third party holds your records.
- Proven at scale. 77,077 GitHub stars and an active contributor base mean real companies run this in production, not just hobbyists.
