AppFlowy

AppFlowy is an open-source web app and server that provides a collaborative workspace for notes and databases. It serves as a tool for personal knowledge management, task tracking, and documentation, allowing users to organize information in a structured environment. The software functions as a workplace OS where users can manage projects, maintain wikis, and create content without relying on proprietary cloud services.

The software is available as a cross-platform application designed for both desktop and mobile environments. It can be installed on desktop systems via FlatHub, Snapcraft, and Sourceforge. For mobile users, the application is available through the Apple App Store for iPhone and the Google Play Store for devices running Android 10 or above, though ARMv7 architecture is not supported.
