Open-source workspace for docs, whiteboards and databases

AFFiNE is building import on-ramps off Notion and OneNote while stabilizing iOS.

knowledge-basenotion-alternativeimportersself-hostediosopen-source
◆Current state
AFFiNE ships a fast canary stream alongside a 0.27 beta line. The recent arc centers on migration on-ramps — a OneNote importer and Notion Markdown zip imports that resolve internal links into linked pages — plus iOS stabilization and a nodemailer security bump. The newest release is a batch of iOS keyboard, image-picker, and scrolling fixes.
◆Where it's heading
The importer investment reads as a deliberate play to lower switching costs from Notion and OneNote, the two incumbents AFFiNE competes with for knowledge-base users. Alongside it, the team is hardening the mobile client and terminology (cloud → sync/self-hosted), signaling a push toward production readiness across platforms.
◆Prediction
Expect more importer coverage and continued iOS/desktop polish as 0.27 moves toward a stable release. The link-resolution work suggests deeper fidelity for migrated workspaces next.

    OneNote importer lands in canary

    The same OneNote importer surfaced in the 0.27 beta, cut into the canary stream — a duplicate of the beta release rather than a distinct change.
