AppFlowy overview and key facts (October 2026)

AppFlowy is an open-source collaborative workspace for projects, wikis and team documents, positioned as an alternative to Notion, with AI features that run through cloud models or entirely on local hardware.

AppFlowy offers pages, blocks, databases, real-time collaboration and a mobile app. The cloud free plan includes one workspace for up to two members with a limited number of AI responses; Pro raises limits to 50 members. AI Max adds access to models such as GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude, while Vault Workspace runs local AI on your own hardware without data transfer. The code is AGPL-3.0 on GitHub, and self-hosting is documented for developers. The GitHub API showed about 77,000 stars and a push on September 22, 2026.

• Writes and edits inside documentsAppFlowy AI answers questions and drafts text directly in pages. Teams can summarize meeting notes or rephrase project updates without switching to a separate chatbot.
• Uses frontier models on demandThe AI Max add-on gives access to models such as GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro and Claude. Users choose a stronger model for complex texts inside the workspace.
• Keeps AI offline with local modelsVault Workspace runs AI on your own hardware with offline operation and no data transfer, according to the pricing page. Teams handling confidential projects can use AI features without a cloud provider.

• Offers a paid local AI option (Vault Workspace) that runs offline on your hardware, alongside cloud AI.
• Open-source code under AGPL-3.0 with a self-hosting path, unlike closed workspace tools.

Open-source software with no country restriction that runs on your own infrastructure anywhere.

Check whether you want the cloud, self-hosting or local AI, since AI limits and add-ons differ by plan. For the cloud, the pricing page does not name a company location or hosting region, so request a data processing agreement and hosting details. AGPL-3.0 has obligations if you modify and offer the software over a network.
