Versions:
AFFiNE 0.26.3 is an open-source, privacy-centric workspace that fuses note-taking, white-boarding and knowledge management into one offline-first application, positioning itself as a transparent alternative to Notion and Miro. Designed for researchers, product teams and creatives who want full data ownership, the program keeps every document stored locally by default while still offering optional end-to-end encrypted cloud sync, thereby eliminating vendor lock-in and guaranteeing that intellectual property remains under user control. The canvas interface supports free-form mind-maps, flowcharts and kanban boards alongside rich-text pages, so the same content can be edited as structured notes, visual storyboards or slide decks without switching tools; bi-directional linking, SQL-style filtering and reusable blocks let large wikis stay navigable as they scale. Because the codebase is released under the AGPL v3 license, organisations can self-host collaborative instances and extend functionality through plug-ins or the forthcoming API. Fifty-two successive releases since the first public build have already introduced real-time multi-user editing, markdown import/export, dark-mode UI and a growing library of community templates, while the current 0.26.3 iteration refines edgeless drawing tools, table calculations and page history. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
