runsyour machine or their cloud

installUse AFFiNE Cloud or install the desktop app; self-hosted collaboration uses the official Docker Compose stack with AFFiNE, PostgreSQL, and Redis

enginesAFFiNE AI supports bring-your-own-key routes for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and FAL; local storage is available in the desktop app, while self-host AI is configured server-side

dataA local-only desktop workspace stays on that device; AFFiNE Cloud stores it in AFFiNE's service, while self-hosted workspaces use PostgreSQL for structured data, mounted blob storage for uploads, Redis for cache, and local configuration files

setupThe desktop app is straightforward, but free self-hosted sync and collaboration require Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, persistent volumes, configuration, migrations, backups, and a correctly exposed server URL

the verdict →
CreatelyPARCIALusage-based

Notion y Miro compartiendo un lienzo: documentos colaborativos, bases de datos, diagramas, pizarras y vistas de planificación; la automatización dedicada para gestión de proyectos es más limitada.

the verdict →
Excalidraw+usage-based

Espacios de trabajo en equipo persistentes, un lienzo infinito, diagramas, comentarios, documentos y bases de datos; más pesado que Excalidraw y más pesado de autoalojar.

Milanoteusage-based

Creative boards, documents and collections in one app, with local files underneath.

the verdict →all MindMeister alternatives →
MindNodePARCIALusage-based

Mind maps, outlines, tasks, tags, and presentation frames in one app; less Apple-native polish, much less Apple-only lock-in.

the verdict →

the catchAFFiNE's mind maps have fewer mature layouts, themes, exports, and polished presentation controls than Xmind's dedicated desktop and mobile product.

the verdict →all Xmind alternatives →
