About Anytype
Anytype is a local-first, encrypted "everything app" where notes, tasks and databases are built from reusable objects. It works fully offline, syncs peer-to-peer through an encrypted network, and your data never lives on someone else's server unencrypted.
About Obsidian
Obsidian is a knowledge base that works on local Markdown files, so your notes stay on your device and remain readable forever. Its bidirectional links and graph view turn scattered notes into a connected second brain, and 3,000+ community plugins extend it into almost anything. Free for personal use, with optional paid sync.
