We believe that any software should support fundamental digital freedoms. With the rise of cryptography and computer systems, it is now possible to guarantee these freedoms in the world of bits: privacy of thoughts, freedom of speech, right to authorship, and autonomy from software providers. These rights can be encoded into the code, which when open, can be freely verified by anyone. This way, trust among users and developers can be established.

This is our way. By opening our source code, we ensure that our users have complete autonomy and independence from the Any Association. They retain the ability to analyze, compile, and run each software component on their personal machines without relying on external parties. This guarantees uninterrupted access to the tools and data they generate and store, shielding them from any potential restrictions.

We see our products as an open ecosystem where the community can contribute in various ways, not only by committing to the core source code. Contributors can develop integrations, design themes, create use cases for the in-app library, or provide documentation and translations.

How does it compare to Obsidian.md?

For further reference: https://anytype.io/ is the actual project page.

Having used it for a bit, it feels more like a Notion alternative than an Obsidian competitor. For instance, it isn’t based on Markdown and pages aren’t directly accessible on the OS filesystem (there’s some sort of pseudo-cloud storage thing going on). Its Sets and Collections feel like a different take on Notion’s databases. Some of the default examples loaded into the app are a task tracker and a movie list, two things I use Notion for right now. I’m sure there’s some feature overlap with Obsidian, but that doesn’t seem like Anytype’s primary goal.

I see. I would like to see a FOSS alternative to Obsidian but its ecosystem with plugins and such is way too useful for me as a writer, roleplayer and gamemaster that I really can't replace it with anything else. But Anytype isn't it then. Thanks for the comparision.

been testing trillium the last couple of days and it feels great.

It's actually Trilium, with one L.

Never heard of it before and wanted to take a look, very difficult to find it with two Ls, as that's the name of some large corporate software platform thing (and a flower) 😅

Does Trilium have community plugins like Obsidian? I've fallen head over heels for Obsidian quite recently, and the plugins are a large part of it.

I used it for years before moving to Obsidian, Trillium’s great. I’m thinking of going back, the web app was a really nice feature that I’m surprised is still missing in Obsidian.

I'm more than a year into using a Trilium instance at home and another at work for taking notes and keeping track of various information.

I love it love it love it, maybe especially at work, but I am certain I use only a tiny fraction of its capabilities.
