Anytype is an app you’ve unlikely not heard of.

The development of this application has taken some time but the focus is very much to be a Notion-like application for managing pages, but also your privacy.

Privacy is something that pushes many productivity apps apart from the current line-up, with tools like Standard presenting a USP (unique selling point) in the note-taking market locking up your most important daily musings.

Anytype offers an array of features, let’s explore the ones similar to Notion and what their long-term vision appear to be.

Anytype describes itself as:

Anytype is a next generation software that breaks down barriers between applications, gives back privacy and data ownership to users”

and on Twitter as the “operating system for life” — a super similar approach to how Notion brands itself.

Much like Notion it offers a clean canvas — with very much the style and feel of Notion — white spaces to build your own custom workspace, designed for the needs of your work.
