What is AppFlowy?
AppFlowy is an open-source workspace application covering documents, wikis and lightweight task views, positioned as a self-hostable alternative to Notion. It ships as native desktop apps backed by either the vendor's hosted AppFlowy Cloud or a self-hosted AppFlowy Cloud deployment.

Key capabilities
- Docs & wikis: Rich-text pages organized into shared workspaces.
- Self-hosting option: Run AppFlowy Cloud yourself instead of the vendor's hosted service.
- AI features: Optional AI writing and chat features on paid plans.
Team documentation, wikis and lightweight workspace organization are its core areas, rather than full-scale project management.
Choose AppFlowy when data ownership and the option to self-host matter as much as the docs/wiki editing experience itself, for teams that want a Notion-style workspace without depending solely on a third party's cloud.
Because the free plan caps workspace members and storage while Pro adds AI capacity and storage, confirm current limits on the pricing page against your team size.
