anytype-all

I want to migrate my notes and to-dos to Anytype for long-term use. Before doing so, I need to make sure it is secure and reliable.

Development Status

Based on what I can see, it seems quite active.

Open Source

The clients are not really open source; they use the Any Source Available License, but I am using it for non-commercial purposes, so it is acceptable for me.

Design & Tech

Security

For such an app, the security of both the protocols and the clients is a concern. I'm not an expert and can't determine if the protocols are secure. But there are too many dependencies in the clients, and I don't think they have been well-audited.

However, in the meantime:

  1. I use it with a VPN, so the security of the protocols is not a big deal for me.
  2. I use the iOS client, while iOS has many built-in security policies.
  3. I use Firejail to run the AnyType on Linux.

Analytics & Tracking

It's possible to disable analytics and tracking through firewall rules or patches, and an option to disable them will be available.
