Anytype

brew install --cask anytype v0.55.5

Local-first, end-to-end encrypted notes and database app that keeps all data on your device.

Why you might care

Anytype prioritizes privacy and data ownership by storing everything locally with E2E encryption—ideal if you distrust cloud services or want guaranteed offline access. It's free and open-source, combining note-taking, task management, and lightweight databases in one app without subscription pressure.
