Anytype is a personal knowledge base made by Any, which its official repository describes as a Swiss association. The repository's README calls Anytype a 📝local-first, peer-to-peer and 📝end-to-end encrypted knowledge OS that lets people gather, connect and remix all kinds of information. Content is built from composable blocks, including text, databases, kanban boards, calendars and custom Types.
The Anytype homepage presents the product as "A safe haven for digital collaboration." According to the README, the app is offline-first, keeps data in local storage and offers optional peer-to-peer sync, with zero-knowledge encryption powered by any-sync. The documentation states that Anytype is available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, and the README adds that the client is extensible through a gRPC API and AI agents. Its code is published on GitHub under the Any Source Available License 1.0, a source-available licence. User documentation is maintained at doc.anytype.io.
