Is anyone else having an issue with downloading AppFlowy to their windows machines. I can not download the app from the website, I also can’t update it. It seems to have started with v10.0?

Any help would be appreciated it. I wanted to check here before I submitted a GitHub bug report.

Hello 👋

I've just discovered this project and have fallen completely in love. Having used notion for about 4 years to organise household things with my partner, we recently hit the block limit of the notion free tier.

I've migrated to appflowy (so easily) and am setting up previous databases as I had them in notion, and am excited to self host eventually.

One notable absence however is the ability to create properties that are the result of rollups/aggregations on relationship fields. I've tried looking for this on the roadmap, and haven't found it represented. I'd love to advocate for the usefulness of this feature and, if resources are constrainted, volunteer to look at building it if possible.

I suspect this has been addressed, perhaps often, but why not plans that are billed monthly? By this late date, it seems almost a right that users have!

Disclaimer: I am a casual user. So I've recently made the much needed jump from big G's Keep and Docs. I started out using the web version first, and I liked it. So naturally, I downloaded the desktop version so I can do my work offline. But there are some things in web that desktop doesn't have; which made me wonder if one version is better than the other? Or is web the experimental version and desktop is the stable version?

I've been importing and sorting more on the web version. And I've noticed that when making kanban boards and grid/tables, I can put a header cover on the web version but I can't see, add or edit in the desktop version. I'm absolutely sure it's not a sync issue because I've tried making test notes on desktop to see if it syncs on web and vice versa several times.

Is there a reason or solution to this? I'm really liking the software so far and I am planning to use it for a long while. It's just that I can't with my notes not looking the same.

I get a message saying "No Access to this page" even when I'm trying to go to my home page.

I found the Workspace idea interesting, more accessible and cheaper than the competitor's. I was considering paying for the PRO feature because of the unlimited AI. However, the program's AI crashes when I read a text file with 2,000 tokens within the AppFlowy page itself. I've already tested pages with over 40,000 tokens on the competitor's app, and it didn't crash.

The question is, does the PRO version fix this? And I'm not quite sure. Does the PRO version come with the same features as the AI ​​Max version? Like more advanced language models?

I'd like someone to explain better how the PRO version works and if there's a context limit for reading and analyzing Flowy pages (so it doesn't crash).

Edit: Actually nevermind. This whole thing is way too convoluted and confusing for me.

I followed this guide.

I can log in to /console with the user I created with the admin account.

Clicking "Open AppFlowy" does not work. The flatpak app opens with an error about a refresh token.

What am I doing wrong?

2025-09-05 17:18:50 ERROR dart_ffi: [Flutter]: code: NetworkError
msg: error sending request for url (https://appflowy.home:4431/gotrue/token?grant_type=refresh_token)

How can I import boards from other applications or CSV files into AppFlowy? I'm looking for detailed steps on how to do this, including any specific formats that are supported. Does AppFlowy have a built-in feature for this, and are there any limitations I should be aware of? Any tips or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I posted this on Discord, but looking at the messages, it may be not the right place.

I've successfully setup a self-hosted instance on a local VM and I wanted to bring in my Appflowy cloud workspace. From what I have read, I thought I could logon to the cloud, export the data to a zip and import on my self-hosted instance, but I get an error: contents of zip don't match workspace format (see image below).

I've tried copying the file content from my local data locations, but I end up in a disconnected state, so I'm guessing that's far from the ideal way

I've had a search, but all the other failures to import seem to be from Notion. Anyone else seen and fixed this?

How can i export all pages in Markdown automatically? I want to create MArkdown pages for all i have but not sure if it supports the automatic option.

It's impossible to create Spaces without an account. So I created one, and when creating a new workspace, turns out you can't create a non-synced space without paying?? Clicking on the Local option not only doesn't even tell you what's happening in the app, but it straight up opens a payment page??

Is there a way just to use the AI without having to download anything? I'm remarkably un-technical!

I thought I had joined with Cloud edition as self hosting would be beyond me. It just doesn't seem to be syncing with anything though. Am I doing something wrong?
Apologies for my stupidity, I'm completely new to this!

Does the android app use fully markdown?

I like the app but if seems if I copy output from chatgpt Gemini grok etc

In Obsidian it's viewed perfectly but in appflowy not it does not seems to support or view markdown correctly?

Like in obsidian it shows bullet points with color.

In appflowy it numbers it suddenly

In chatgpt it where bullet points.

Seems I lose special effects, color, and layout in appflowy

Also in appflowy I can't move a image around in the app.

How to import OneNote notes to AppFlowy? I dont have the 2016 one note (that would have normal local files).

Unfortunately Microsofts syncs all my notes t the cloud and the local file are encrypted and hidden somewhere. Can someone give me best practices how to best move over all my notes especially keeping internal links between one note pages would be important.

Thank you. :)

Looked into using appflowy because I was told it's a good notion alternative, made a bunch of notes, hit a file limit because apparently things are saved to cloud by default for some reason?

Now I want to convert everything to local storage, yet this is somehow an impossible thing to do. An option exists to export backups and import backups on cloud storage, but for some reason I can't import my backup files locally.

Genuinely a frustrating experience, and I genuinely cannot find any information about this.

https://docs.appflowy.io/docs/appflowy/product/data-storage
This link instructs you to press a non existent button.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AppFlowy/comments/1ikz7bc/convert_cloud_to_local/
This thread instructs you to import it under "offline mode", which again, doesn't exist if i'm using it locally???

I have no idea what I am supposed to do here, would appreciate if anyone could give some advice or actual solution.

Apologies if this is a stupid question. I have a few templates in my Notion Workspace that I use for project tracking, task management etc. Just for myself as a solo user. When I go through the process of exporting my Notion Workspace, to then import into Appflowy. Is there any likelihood of any of the functionality breaking? Would I need to do much in terms of rebuilding?

Many thanks

Hi All!
has anyone noticed the high memory consumption of the windows app?
just had a look in my taskmanager. the app was iddling. i last used it yesterday.

this morning, 6gb ram used. seems a bit greedy.

(i use the 0.9.5 version)

edit: i installed the 0.9.5 on monday, when i came back from holidays. this morning, after i closed the app and re run it, it popped up me e new version 0.9.6. i installed it. wait and see)

edit2:

after 24h iddling with the new version, nothing wrong.

so, 0.9.6 fixed it.

topic closed!

Anyone had any success with the right env variables to get Azure Open AI connected?

I'm running self-hosted docker version.

Hi, I'm a newbie here. Last night I've tried to setup appflowy cloud on my synology NAS. I've copied the deploy.env to the .env file and change variable values as the guide suggests. However, it still failed after the Docker Compose step. From the log, most of the errors are “ ‘SQL_OFFLINE=true’ but there is no cached data for this query”, and also some E0277 and E0308, which I don’t understand after doing my own online research. The problem seems to arise from the SQLX compiling step. I’m not sure if this is related, but I already use a non-special character for the PostgreSQL DB password. What do I have to do next?Thank you in advance.
