Why people self-host AppFlowy

AppFlowy targets people who want a Notion-like workspace with documents, databases, and a modern client experience. It is useful when local control and open development matter but the workflow still needs tables and pages.

The tradeoff is ongoing product evolution and a more complex sync story. Check which collaboration features are production-ready for the intended team.

Deployment notes

AppFlowy is listed with support signals for linux, docker, windows, macos. Check the upstream documentation before exposing it to the internet, review authentication defaults, and keep backups outside the primary host.
