Notion 是深受团队和个人欢迎的生产力应用之一，而现在我们似乎有希望获得一个有前途的开源替代品。


这里为还没用过 Notion 的人介绍一下，Notion 是一个多功能合一的生产力应用，可以用于创建/管理任务、笔记、项目、数据，以及组建维基。


换句话说，它能让你自由组织你的<ruby> 工作流 <rt>  workflow </rt></ruby>，让你在一个地方就能集中完成所有事情。更进一步，Notion 还支持连接团队或邀请他人的协作功能。


那么，如果有一个可以提供类似 UI 和功能的开源应用会怎么样？


这就是 AppFlowy。

### 什么是 AppFlowy


![Source: AppFlowy.io](/data/attachment/album/202111/23/162422n2ex16ujxk6escwe.png)


AppFlowy 和 Notion 非常相像，但有一个巨大的区别，那就是它是 100% 开源的。


虽然它还处在一个积极开发中的状态，但已经吸引到了不少的关注。至少可以说，尽管它是一个全新的东西，但任何开源替代项目都是令人兴奋的！


正如他们 GitHub 页面的表述，说明了为什么开发者们想要创造一个 Notion 的替代品：



> 
> 我们都知道 Notion 有其局限性。比如说脆弱的数据安全性和糟糕的移动设备端兼容性。同样，其它一些协作工作管理工具替代品也具有各自的局限性。
> 
> 
> 


因此，他们希望他们的的用户既拥有 Notion 的功能特性，又具备良好的数据安全性和由社区驱动的良好的原生体验。


他们也明确表示不想在功能特性和设计上与 Notion 相竞争。



> 
> 坦率的讲，我们并没有声称在功能和设计上要优于 Notion，至少现在还是如此。此外，我们当前的首要任务也不在于提供更多的功能。相反，我们期望培养一个社区，使制作复杂工作场所管理工具的知识和设施民主化，同时通过为个人和企业配备一个多功能积木工具箱，使他们能够自己创造美好的事物。

听起来很吸引我！


继续关于 **AppFlowy** 的更多信息：


AppFlowy 的首个 macOS 版本已经在几天前发布了。它是用 Flutter 和 Rust 构建的。


它的目标是让用户和团队能够完整控制他们的数据和定制。他们还表示，他们希望提供包括移动设备在内的跨平台的原生体验。除此之外，你还可以离线访问你的工作区，这一点是与 Notion 不同的。


别忘了，社区可以发布定制主题和模板给他人使用，你可以按照你的需求任意定制。用户对它的发展能产生直接的影响。


它还将支持插件以扩展应用的功能。因此，即使你不具有任何编程经验，你也仍然可以选择使用这些插件来增强你工作空间的功能。并且，由于它的 UI 和 Notion 本身非常相似，如果你以后想要在两者之间切换，也不会让你感觉有太大的改变。


### 是否仅支持 macOS ？


到目前为止只有 macOS 的用户可以尝鲜使用 AppFlowy。但 Linux 和 Windows 客户端也在开发之中。你可以持续关注它的 [GitHub 主页](https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/appflowy) 或订阅官网的最新通知。


开发者还希望能带来更多视觉上的改变和优化。


当然，它仍然处在开发阶段。所以也别期望它现在就能替代 Notion。一些类似于<ruby> 拖放模式 <rt>  drag/drop </rt> <ruby>  和离线模式的功能仍然还在它的  <a href="https://trello.com/b/NCyXCXXh/appflowy-roadmap">   路线图  </a>  之中。 </ruby></ruby>


如果你有兴趣的话，可以访问它的官方网站或 GitHub 页面获取更多的信息，以及为其发展做出贡献。

### 总而言之


有了社区的支持，AppFlowy 可能是 Notion 的可靠替代品。基于免费和开源的事实让它一开始就吸引大量个人和团队来试用它。


我也开始期待它尽快增加对 Linux 的支持，我知道它已经在开发中了。


你如何看待 AppFlowy? 你会计划试用它吗？

[Notion](https://notion.grsm.io/itsfoss?ref=news.itsfoss.com) is one of the most popular productivity apps for teams and individuals alike. And, it looks like we could be getting a promising open-source alternative to it.

For those who don’t know or haven’t used Notion-it is an all-in-one productivity app to create/manage tasks, notes, projects, databases, and build wikis.

In other words, it gives you the freedom to organize your workflow and lets you do everything in a single place. Moreover, Notion also supports collaboration features to connect with your team or invite guests.

So, how about an open-source application that offers a similar UI and feature set?

That’s where** AppFlowy** comes in.

## What is AppFlowy?

![A sceenshot of AppFlowy](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/11/welcome-1024x729.png)

AppFlowy is very similar to Notion, except for one huge difference. It is 100% open-source.

Although still actively under development, it has managed to grab some attention. While it is fairly new, an open-source alternative for anything is exciting, to say the very least!

As per their GitHub page, here’s why the developers want to create an alternative to Notion:

We all know Notion has its limitations. These include weak data security and poor compatibility with mobile devices. Likewise, alternative collaborative workplace management tools also have their constraints.

So, they want their users to have the features of Notion but with better data security and a genuine native experience with a community-driven approach.

They’ve also made it clear that they do not want to compete with Notion in terms of features/design:

To be honest, we do not claim to outperform Notion in terms of functionality and design, at least for now. Besides, our priority doesn’t lie in more functionality at the moment. Instead, we would like to cultivate a community to democratize the knowledge and wheels of making complex workplace management tools, while enabling people and businesses to create beautiful things on their own by equipping them with a versatile toolbox of building blocks.

Sounds good to me!

Moving on, more about the app, **AppFlowy**:

AppFlowy’s first version for macOS was released a few days back. It is built using Flutter and Rust.

It aims to give users and teams total control of their data and customizations. They also state that they want to provide a native experience cross-platform, including mobile devices. In addition to that, it should enable you offline access to your workspace, unlike Notion.

Not to forget, communities can publish custom-made themes and templates for others to use, and you get to customize as much as you want. And users can make a direct impact on its development as well.

It will also support plugins to extend the functionality of the app. So, if you do not have any coding experience, you can still choose to enhance your workspace using these plugins. Moreover, the UI is quite similar to that of Notion, so if you plan to switch in the future, it should not feel like a drastic change.

## Is it Only Available for macOS?

As of now, only macOS users can try out AppFlowy. However, a Linux and Windows client is also in development. You can keep an eye on its [GitHub page](https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/appflowy?ref=news.itsfoss.com) or subscribe to the newsletter on the official website.

The developers are also looking to bring more visual changes and enhancements.

Of course, it is still in the early stages of development. So, you should not expect it to replace Notion just yet. Some of the features like drag/drop and offline mode are still in its [roadmap](https://trello.com/b/NCyXCXXh/appflowy-roadmap?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

You can visit the official website or the GitHub page to explore more about it and contribute to its development if you are interested.

## Wrapping Up

AppFlowy could be a solid alternative to Notion with proper community support. The fact that it is free and open-source should give it a massive head start to attract individuals and teams to try it out.

I also wish it adds the support for Linux soon, knowing that it’s already in development.
