Frequently asked questions

What is AFFiNE?

AFFiNE is the open-source, local-first knowledge workspace that combines documents, whiteboards, and AI in one canvas. AFFiNE Cloud is hosted by our team; the editor and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed, while the self-hosted backend is source-available under the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition license. (Not to be confused with affine geometry in mathematics.)

Is AFFiNE free?

Yes. AFFiNE Cloud Free includes unlimited local workspaces, 10 GB of Cloud Storage, real-time collaboration with up to 3 members per workspace, and 7 days of version history. There is no time limit on the Free plan. For self-hosting, the editor and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed, while the backend is source-available under the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition license: without a commercial agreement, you may review the backend source code only. Modifying, compiling, or redistributing the EE-licensed backend code requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE.

What is the difference between AFFiNE Cloud and Self-Hosted?

AFFiNE Cloud runs on our infrastructure with no setup. Storage, seats, and version-history limits depend on your plan (Free, Pro, or Team). Self-Hosted runs the full stack on your own servers; the editor is MIT, the backend uses the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition license. You control all data, and limits are bound by your own infrastructure. The Self-Hosted Team tier ($10/seat/month) adds priority support, multi-admin roles, and scaling for 10+ seats.

Can I use AFFiNE as a free Notion alternative?

Yes. AFFiNE's editor and most of the codebase are open-source under MIT, local-first by design, and free forever for personal use. As an open-source Notion alternative, your workspace data lives on your device with optional cloud sync. The EE-licensed backend source is available for review only without a commercial agreement; modifying, compiling, or redistributing it requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE.

What is included in the AFFiNE Free plan?

Local side: unlimited local workspaces, unlimited customization, unlimited Doc and Edgeless editing. Cloud Basic side: 10 GB of Cloud Storage, 10 MB maximum file size, up to 3 members per Workspace, 7 days of Cloud Time Machine version history, and up to 3 login devices.

What is the AFFiNE Believer Plan?

The Believer Plan is a one-time purchase of $499.99 that gives you lifetime personal usage of AFFiNE Pro, including everything in Pro plus 1 TB of Cloud Storage. It is a single payment with no subscription, designed for early supporters who want to back the project long-term.

Can I self-host AFFiNE for free?

AFFiNE uses a dual-license model: the editor (BlockSuite), desktop app, and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed, while the backend server (packages/backend) uses the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition (EE) license. Without a commercial agreement, you may review the backend source code only. Modifying, compiling, or redistributing the EE-licensed backend code requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE.

What license is AFFiNE on GitHub?

AFFiNE uses a dual-license model. The editor (BlockSuite), desktop app, and most of the codebase are MIT-licensed. The backend server (packages/backend) uses the AFFiNE Enterprise Edition (EE) license. Without a commercial agreement, you may review the backend source code only. Modifying, compiling, or redistributing the EE-licensed backend code requires commercial authorization from AFFiNE. Full source at github.com/toeverything/AFFiNE.

Can AFFiNE replace Confluence for self-hosted team knowledge bases?

Yes. For teams moving off Confluence's cloud per-seat cost, AFFiNE's Self-Hosted Team tier ($10/seat/month, 10+ seats) is built as a team knowledge base that runs the full stack on your own infrastructure with priority support, multi-admin roles, unlimited team members, and full data residency. Unlike Confluence's wiki-only model, AFFiNE combines docs, whiteboards, and AI in one canvas. It works as a flexible corporate wiki with local-first data ownership and an open-source editor under MIT.

Breath of the Wild: Redefining Game Design
Introduction At GDC 2017, Hidemaro Fujibayashi, Satoru Takizawa, and Takuhiro Dohta from Nintendo shared their insights on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's groundbreaking game mechanics. One standout feature is the "multiplicative gameplay," which empowers players to interact with the game world in diverse ways, leading to surprising outcomes.
More Is Different
The reductionist hypothesis may still be a topic for controversy among philosophers, but among the great majority of active scientists I think it is accepted without questions. The workings of our minds and bodies, and of all the animate or inanimate matter of which we have any detailed knowledge, are assumed to be controlled by the same set of fundamental laws, which except under certain extreme conditions we feel we know pretty well.
HOWTO: Be more productive
“With all the time you spend watching TV,” he tells me, “you could have written a novel by now.” It’s hard to disagree with the sentiment — writing a novel is undoubtedly a better use of time than watching TV — but what about the hidden assumption? Such comments imply that time is “fungible” — that time spent watching TV can just as easily be spent writing a novel. And sadly, that’s just not the case.
Learning with retrieval practice
Are there any specific techniques to make the process of learning more effective? Students often re-read, underline, or highlight materials, thinking that it will help them learn better. But, the best method for really turning information into long-term memory is to use what is called ‘retrieval practice’. It simply means trying to retrieve the information from your own brain, instead of looking at a sheet of paper.
This is Local-first software
You own your data, in spite of the cloud Cloud apps like Google Docs and Trello are popular because they enable real-time collaboration with colleagues, and they make it easy for us to access our work from all of our devices. However, by centralizing data storage on servers, cloud apps also take away ownership and agency from users. If a service shuts down, the software stops functioning, and data created with that software is lost.
