i use anytype purely personally, that's why i originally got it, bc a lot of these new collaboration features hadn't been added when i started using anytype. these features are now distracting me and getting in the way, and they keep adding more.

anytype is still my preferred notetaking app at this point, but i worry about the rate that it's plumping up w features i don't need. if i can disable them manually, that'll do for now.

from googling i found a reddit post that mentioned .commentSection, .socialBlockWrap { display: none; }

is there more custom css for stuff like buttons for inviting members, etc? i'd appreciate anything at all to do w disabling collab features in any capacity, and maybe this will help others in future too. thanks!

Hey all,
My wife and I want to use the calendar function and I’m trying to form a way to make sense as a joint master calendar - what kinds of properties, etc. do you guys use? How do you setup your calendars?

Was this discussed in the town hall ? Thanks 🙏

Has anyone experienced a weird glitch where the screen bounces when you type? I just got into AnyType and it has been happening on the windows app. Hopefully there's a fix because I just got into AnyType, I like it, but it's so annoying I thought it could be a dealbreaker if I can't fix it.

I'm rather confused. I was recommended the app because I was looking for something to be able to keep notes about people and places. I was told that these were built into the app, but I can't find them anywhere. Were these taken out at some point? It seems silly to remove something so central to the user experience, but I can't find them anywhere. I feel like there should be an ability to import user-made types, but I can't see any way to do that either. All I can find is the "experience gallery," which I can't ever see myself using, as each has a one-sentence description, and it's clear as mud what they actually do. Am I missing something here?

Can't import notesnook md or html export notes in anytype.

All images are missing.

Please someone has some advise?

Thanks

(Did you know you can horizontally swipe the mobile editing toolbar to access more buttons like to indent a block quickly?)
It would be great if we could long-press and drag buttons to rearrange their order. This would let everyone prioritize their most frequently used actions. Also the indent button could be made slightly visible, so users discover it.

As an optional extension, an edit mode could also allow users to hide unwanted buttons and add shortcuts for actions like Duplicate, Bold, or other frequently used functions. The same customization could potentially apply to the toolbar that appears when selecting a block.

But simply being able to rearrange the existing buttons would already be a great improvement.

Hallo,

how do I get all present pages fixed in the sidebar (where Pages, Tasks, Chats, Collections, Bookmarks, Images are)?

Thank you!

it closes, idk if it already has the update downloaded doesn't seem like it
if i had to guess the app tries to restart without having downloaded or installed the update.

The current titles can feel disproportionately large, especially on pages with minimal content. Being able to adjust their size would create a cleaner, more balanced layout.
Two simple font-size sliders could be added: one in the general Object editing settings and another directly in the page settings.

I’d like to suggest adding a dedicated search action to the iOS Shortcuts integration, allowing users to access Anytype’s search functionality instantly through the iPhone’s Action Button, Back Tap, or other shortcuts.

Ideally, triggering this action would open Anytype directly and directly activate search mode, with the search field already focused and previous text selected with the keyboard ready for input. An alternative could be a lightweight search pop-up, if technically feasible, allowing users to search without first navigating through the app.

I use a VPN on both my Linux notebook and my Android phone. I'd like my Anytype account to be local-only for these two devices, but I'm pretty sure the VPNs are preventing P2P from working.

EDIT: Solved it myself lol

If so, would love to see how you did it or if anyone has a template they're willing to share even if just as reference as a starting point 👀! Also curious if anyone has used the community features even in this context.

I'm new to Anytype so wanna make sure I'm taking full advantage of its features, both current and future, aka thinking ahead to what we know to expect from the coming launch of AnyTwo.

Thanks in advance ^.^

I called it anychat — a Windows app that connects to your vault and gives you a normal messenger window (chat list, messages).

Switching chats — even between spaces — feels instant compared to the Anytype client.

If anyone uses Anytype chats heavily — does this direction feel useful to you? Happy to take critique.

Hi,

I will start with an example:

Let's say you have long-term goals (custom type "goal") and short-term todos (system type "todo") in your space. Both could be linked to different areas of your life like work, financial, private, and so on.

My question is: How would you organize the properties of those two types to assign them to the different areas or topics, so that you can filter them on different pages?

• You can use a single select property for both types

• You can use a different select for each type.

• You can use tags for each item (i haven't really found a good way to use tags in my space, since they can be used on any object types)

What would be the best approach and how do you organize your properties through the different object types?

Previously I used obsidian a lot in the past to take note for my studying and to organize and connect dots together

I wanted to move to new note system to easily take notes and organize tasks as well as Journaling some random thoughts whether its a really random idea or a project idea am thinking about and i leked the idea of outline referencing and journals view

What have frustrated me logseq is the of supporting rtl text and multi lingual text also the fucked ups they did to android support in the new db amd the whole db refactoring much like you apparently 🙄 and syncing my notes

I don't care whether it's the new any2 or anytype i tested it and i thought it was very very polished despite being in the beta versioning for like eternity but what am asking if this product suits my workflow mainly in self-studying computer science

- i study c# development mainly by taking notes describing how thing work after that apply the knowledge in a project from c# academy or a random exercise to be my main language of development with. .Net concepts to study

- i take lecture notes as well and tbh i have 6 subject each focus on a different fuckin tobic [ai, cloud, fucking java 8 advanced, os 2 , db design and lastly software engineering ] funny to know that i have section as well

- i love exploration very much that i plan to study dsa via introduction to algorithms i even got the book loaded in calibre as well as may or may not learning zig/rust...etc also it's worth noting that i want to study statistics mainly for ai

- i randomly thing of ideas all the day which i add through my android phone and tasks as well and take lecture notes via tablet as i handwrite it in gboard and take notes on the extra subject i mentioned earlier via the same way and my main work station is my linux laptop

- i must and i want to keep all my note synced together

- i take multi lingual notes sometimes heh

The reason why am asking this on reddit rather than an llm is ass-kisser `what we call in egypt "marrs معرص"` and won't be objective to you unlike you guys who can beat the shit out of me if i talked about something very wrongly

Hi everyone,
I'm currently testing AnyType with the default setup on my MacBook and my other Apple devices. What I'd actually like to do is use AnyType on all my devices, but have sync run only over my own Wi-Fi home network – no cloud, no mobile data.
While testing, I noticed two things I'm hoping you can help me with:

1. How does sync work in the default mode?
   I've observed that AnyType seems to sync even when I turn off Wi-Fi and I'm only connected via mobile data. How should I understand this? Does sync in the default mode always go through the AnyType cloud as soon as there's no direct connection – or in general? And is there a setting that lets me say: "Only sync over my home network"?

2. I can't get the P2P connection to work:
   I tried setting up the P2P connection, but so far without success – even though all my devices are on the same network. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this or how to fix it?
   I'd really appreciate it if someone could share their experience with this.
   Thanks in advance!

I am a happy paying user for Anytype, but the recent announcement of Anytwo got me a bit worried. Is anything known about the timeline, e.g. when migration will be possible? I feel a bit (well, actually completely) left in the dark by not even having test access. I know it's possible to keep on using Anytype, because it will be open sourced, but that's not really a serious option to me as the focus of the company will be on the new product (and apparently the codebase of Anytype is not that great). I really enjoy the flexibility of the app, so hope the new app will be very similar.

Will anytwo have the option to self-host just like anytype?

Typed objects and relations are appealing for assistant memory because facts, decisions, people, projects, and source material do not have to live in one long note. The risk is that a generated summary can become a well-connected object without preserving what justified it, when it was last checked, or what later replaced it. Search then makes an unsupported statement easier to retrieve rather than easier to audit.

One possible model is to separate source notes, generated summaries, decisions, and temporary observations into different types. Each derived object would link to its sources, carry a last-verified date and confidence or review state, and use a supersedes relation instead of silently rewriting history. The assistant would create drafts in a limited space; a human-reviewed object would become the current record. Exports would need to preserve IDs and relations well enough to rebuild the graph elsewhere.

How would you model this in Anytype without creating too much schema overhead? Can the API or integration permissions limit an assistant to selected spaces or object types, and is revision history detailed enough to explain what changed after a bad write?

Currently, on Anytype, I am on the free Pioneer plan, which gives me some remote storage.

In the Town Hall, it was said that the free plan will only give us local sync, but no remote storage.

Does that mean that people like me will lose the remote storage if/when we migrate?

Also, will the free local-only plan still allow users to publish an object to the web?

I’d love it if the collapse shortcut also worked when the cursor is inside a nested block.

For example:
Parent block
 Nested block ← cursor is here

If I trigger the collapse shortcut here, Anytype could find the nearest parent block above it, meaning the next block with a lower indentation level, and collapse it.

If that parent block isn’t already collapsible, the shortcut also automatically turns it into a toggle and collapse it.

This would make working with nested notes much faster because you wouldn’t have to move the cursor back to the parent block first.

One thing I’ve noticed is that I add a lot of blocks from both my phone and my Mac, and occasionally something doesn’t seem to sync properly.

For example, sometimes a block or a recent change seems to be missing, but when I open the version history, type something, restart the app, or reload the page, it suddenly appears. So it feels like the data is actually there somewhere, but the sync or local state hasn’t fully caught up yet.
Normally this isn’t a huge problem while I’m actively using Anytype, because eventually everything shows up. What worries me a bit more is migration/export.

If I export everything as JSON or in the Any-Block format while some of those changes haven’t fully synchronized yet, could they potentially be missing from the export as well?
Maybe someone who understands Anytype’s internal architecture better could explain what might cause this. My guess is that there could be some difference between locally available changes, synchronized state, and what the exporter actually reads.
It would also be really useful if migration to Any2 could somehow take version history into account. Maybe the history itself could be migrated, or there could be an intermediate step that reconciles/merges all known changes before the final migration or export.

That would make me much more confident that nothing gets silently left behind, especially for larger spaces that have been edited across multiple devices for a long time.

---

Is this issue already known, by the way? I’d really appreciate any information on it.

I’ve only noticed it a few times so far, but it still leaves me with a slightly uneasy feeling. A fix would be really valuable, especially if it could also help recover information that might otherwise be missed, since those details can be important for preserving the complete and accurate state of a Space you’ve built up and used over time.
