AppFlowy is an [[AGPLv3]] licensed knowledge management tool written in [[Dart]] and [[Rust]]. - [Website](https://www.appflowy.io/) - [Source](https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy) > AppFlowy is an AI-powered secure workspace \- official website > The Open Source Alternative To Notion \- official readme # Notability # Philosophy Developed by AppFlowy Inc based in Singapore. VC backed. > Well-funded by top VCs and great angel investors \- from their hiring page Maintainers prioritize AI features including intrusive UI elements which specifically promote services by [[OpenAI]]. Uses accounts tied to proprietary services. It is only possible to login using those services. There is a strong implication that this open source phase is just to support a paid subscription model for the backend. That would be fine if they were open about it, but I predict a rug pull and the whole project collapsing. # Platform Support # Features # Tips # References - https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/1962 - https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/4529
