AFFiNE
Open-source, local-first workspace that merges docs, whiteboards and databases, with a free plan and paid cloud sync for individuals and teams.
AFFiNE is an open-source, local-first workspace that puts documents, a whiteboard and databases on the same canvas, for individuals and small teams. The Free plan includes unlimited local workspaces and 10 GB of cloud storage for up to 3 members. Pro costs $7.99 a month, or $81 a year ($6.75 a month).
Strong free option for docs-plus-whiteboard work; read the backend license before self-hosting.
An open-source, local-first workspace where documents, an infinite whiteboard and databases live on the same canvas.
AFFiNE is one of the better free picks if your notes and diagrams belong together, and the free tier is generous for a small group. Pro is cheap, and you can stay fully local if you never need sync. Two cautions: the project is still pre-1.0, and the self-hosted backend is not open source in the usual sense, so teams planning to customize their own server need a commercial license.
A generous free plan and low-cost Pro for a tool that merges docs, whiteboard and databases.
Pre-1.0 software, and the self-hosted backend needs a commercial license to modify.
