OctoBase
OctoBase is the open-source database behind AFFiNE
OctoBase is a local-first, peer-to-peer database designed to power collaborative apps with real-time syncing and offline-first capabilities. Developed by the team behind Anytype, OctoBase ensures that data is owned and controlled by the user, using CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) to resolve changes across peers without needing a central server. It supports encrypted, schema-flexible data storage and enables seamless syncing across devices while maintaining privacy. OctoBase is ideal for apps focused on privacy, collaboration, and decentralization, such as personal knowledge bases or peer-to-peer productivity tools.
