Affine

AFFiNE is a comprehensive workspace that merges documents, whiteboards, and databases into a single platform. Emphasizing privacy and a local-first approach, AFFiNE allows users to maintain control over their data. The platform includes an AI partner designed to assist with writing, drawing, and planning, providing features such as insight generation, tone perfection, content summarization, and image creation. AFFiNE AI is available for $8.9 per month, billed annually, and offers a free trial with 10 experiences for each AFFiNE Cloud user.
