Anytype
Local-first notes and knowledge base with AI writing assistant and MCP server.
About
Anytype is a local-first, end-to-end encrypted notes and knowledge management app that treats notes as objects in a graph. Everything lives on the device first, with optional encrypted sync over a decentralized network, and its terms prohibit using user data for AI training.
Its AI integrations include an in-app AI writing assistant that can suggest revisions, generate text, proofread, and create images, plus an official MCP server that lets local AI agents read, write, and manage the knowledge base securely. Frontier model access works with the user's own API key across OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, and Grok models.
