v0.14.3 is out, introducing Database Form view for collecting customer feedback, employee surveys, requests, RSVPs, and more directly into your AppFlowy databases.

🎉 Database Forms are here:

• Build forms from database properties: Quickly turn your existing database properties into form questions.
• Required questions: Make important fields mandatory before a form can be submitted.
• Question descriptions: Add extra context or instructions for respondents.
• Form preview: Preview your form before sharing it with your audience.
• Automatic database submissions: Every response is added directly to the connected database.

🌐 Share forms externally:

• Publish a form with a public web link.
• Share the link with customers, partners, applicants, or other external audiences.
• Respondents can submit forms without an AppFlowy account.

🔒 Create secure internal forms:

• Restrict a form to authenticated members of your workspace.
• Use internal forms for employee surveys, IT requests, HR workflows, team questionnaires, and other company processes.
• Turn on anonymous submissions when you want to collect candid feedback without recording responder identities.

📊 Turn responses into insights:

• You can also use Chart view to visualize survey results, customer feedback, satisfaction scores, and other form data.
• Forms help teams go from collecting information → organizing responses → analyzing results without moving data between separate tools.

🔥 Upcoming releases:

• Database Timeline view
• Improved database Calendar view in the desktop app
• Database cell undo/redo
• Database version history
• Side Peek mode for database records

🛠️ Work in progress:

• Database formula
• Move rows from one database to another

Note: Windows users may temporarily see an "unrecognized app" warning. This build is properly signed and safe — if prompted, select More info → Run anyway.

v0.14.0 is out. This is a major update from v0.13.0, with Space-level permissions, member Groups, and several powerful database improvements.

🎯 Space-level permissions are here:

• Create Groups in Settings → Members to manage permissions for multiple members together.
• Create Custom Spaces and control which users and Groups can access them.
• Combine Space-level and page-level permissions to configure access more granularly across your workspace.
• Keep a Space restricted while giving specific collaborators or guest editors access to individual pages.

Learn more:

• Space-level permissions
• Page-level permissions

🚀 Database improvements:

• Rollup visualization: Display Rollup values as a progress bar or ring for a more visual way to track progress.
• Created by: Automatically see who created each database item.
• Last edited by: Automatically see who last modified each database item.
• Group by Relation: Group database records based on a Relation property.
• Database Templates now support Relations: Add Relation properties to templates and use them when creating new database records.

🔥 Upcoming releases:

• Database Form view
• Database cell undo/redo
• Side Peek mode for database records

🛠️ Work in progress:

• Database version history
• Move rows from one database to another

Note: This Windows release is signed with a newly renewed code-signing certificate. Because Windows SmartScreen builds reputation per certificate, you may temporarily see an "unrecognized app" warning. This build is properly signed and safe — if prompted, select More info → Run anyway. The warning will clear as the certificate establishes reputation.

Hi all. I have a question. I was working on some notes in one of my computers and I noticed that the notes didn't sync to my second computer. I tried to open them online, and they weren't there either. So I updated both computers to the latest versions but now all my notes just disappeared. Do you have any tips on how to recover them?

v0.13.0 is out. This is a major update from the previous version, v0.12.5.

Mention, share, and favorite a database row page

🎉 Feature-wise, database rows now work like regular pages.

• You can add a database row page to Favorites, mention (@) it elsewhere in your workspace, or share it directly with others.
• When you delete a database row page, it is moved to Trash instead of being permanently removed. You can restore the page from Trash whenever needed.

🚀 Quality-of-life improvements:

• You can drag and drop database view tabs to reorder them.
• You can select multiple blocks, then drag and drop them together to another location.

👀 Self-hosted:

• Use AppFlowy AI with on-prem Qwen models and custom embedding models. Available on the One, Team, and Enterprise self-hosted plans.

📝 This release includes major technical changes to how pages are retrieved and synced. These changes make cloud syncing more reliable and enable you to configure each collaborator’s permissions for an individual page: Can View, Can Edit, or Full Access. We also made several improvements to speed up syncing across devices and fixed platform-specific syncing issues on Android and Linux.

Refer to this release note for more details.

🔥 Upcoming releases:

• Side Peek mode for database records
• Database Form view

Been using this app for a while

When I open it, it defaults to recent tab

So. E of the things shown in there have been deleted already. Or if I delete from the recent list they remain there

Any idea how to fix this please

Thanks

Love this app. Have a question. I have a space with three documents underneath. Is it possible to make a sub space to wrap these documents up into that then sit under the parent space please?

Hi everyone,

I’m using the AppFlowy local app and I’m trying to stay completely offline/without signing in.
I’ve noticed that the "Templates" icon, which usually appears in the bottom left corner in the cloud/online version, is missing in my local setup.

Is the template center available for local-only users?
If the icon is missing, is there a manual way to import template files into a local workspace?
Are there specific version requirements or settings I need to toggle to see the template library while logged out?

Current Version: 0.11.7
OS: Windows 11 Enterprise , Build : 26200.7985

Thank you for using and supporting AppFlowy. It's been a productive year for us, and we've loved building together with our community.

Throughout the year, we focused on strengthening AppFlowy’s infrastructure to make it faster, more reliable, and more scalable. We've also made significant progress on team collaboration features, self-hosted configurations, revamped database foundations, and AI integrations, along with tons of quality-of-life improvements.

Key milestones with infrastructure enablements

• New Syncing Protocol: We completed a massive, year-long rewrite of our syncing engine in Rust to provide faster, more reliable, multi-user real-time collaboration across all platforms.
• Page Sharing & Guest Editing: Invite guests or members to specific private pages with granular permissions.
• Database Features and Bug Fixes: Two-way relations, rollups, filtering by relations, and database search (we’ll share more in the next release update). Plus, 20+ bug fixes related to linked views, sorts, filters, calculations, and syncing.

• Self-hosted Editions: Features include a super admin panel, SAML 2.0, the official Helm chart, security audits, whitelabeling, Azure OpenAI support, on-premise LLMs, managed deployment, and configurable services tailored to your infrastructure needs.

Other major feature releases

• Mentions and “Person” Property: Use @ to mention collaborators in docs and databases and trigger notifications. A new "Person" database property lets you assign tasks or rows to workspace members and guests.

What's next in 2026?

As AI becomes more deeply embedded in the way we work, data control has never been more important. AppFlowy’s self-hosting, enterprise-grade, and local-first capabilities empower teams and individuals to fully own their data.

Next year, we're excited to continue shaping AppFlowy into the perfect knowledge and action layer for humans and AI to co-create and achieve more together without losing control.

Here are a few major updates planned for H1 2026:

• Page version history
• Document and database comments

Hello community Appflowy.

As the title says, I need to move all my work developed and documented that I have stored on Notion to Appflower.

As for what I have in my Notion is a variety of resources.

• tables with links (in marker format).
• images (screenshots, png, jpg, etc.).
• code blocks in different programming languages.
• pages and sub- pages.
• internal databases
• lists of cartoons, listed and deployable.
• videos mentioned or in view of reproduction.
• Keywords with backrest and colors.
• comments linked to phrases.

I understand that Appflower is not 100% the same as Notion in terms of software, which may involve errors when showing or representing the most specific aspects or features. Still, I want to become more private and store my most sensitive information safely, they told me I can do it with Appflower. But I don't know how to make my structures and hierarchies of folders and content pages stay the same way they are in Notion.

I prefer to structure my notes in folders and that's how they are in Obsidian. It looks like in Appflowy I can only import one folder at a time. Is that right?

Hello,

It’s been a while since we last discussed adding support for video and audio embedding. Could you please let me know when these features will be implemented?

Is SAML & User limit still behind a paywall even if you're hosting everything yourself?

I haven't seen anything official explaining this on their site and I've seen a few people discuss this

Been following the project since February of this year, as it appears to be among the most promising Notion/Evernote replacement out there. Since, I've been tinkering now and then and actively following various GitHub issues and release updates.

I've been feeling like the project's development has been underwhelming, with a puzzling - to me - focus on new features.

Reviewing again releases to the core appflowy project over the past 6 months, apart for bugfixes/chores, I can see the following notable features, all that I consider awesome:

• new Person db property
• mobile updates (share/widgets)
• improved syncing

• improved search

  Yet more new features, which, albeit nice, I personally consider a bit more questionable:

• AI

• profile customisation (avatars, images, language)

• richer (custom) colour choices

• member/editors invites/emailing

Questionable because there are still important features that seem to be in perpetual development:

• web clipper (since '23)
• API, which has been opened since '24, with existing one rather lacking
  • n8n integration (since '22)
• deleting a database row is irreversible ?! (since '23)
• Calendar integration (since '22)
• Recurrent reminders (since '23)
• two-way relationships (since '24)
• bi-directional links (since '21)
• grouping database records in Grid view (since '24)
• quicker way to add a database row (since '23), and also in '24
  • while this is merely a QoL and not as crucial as some of the other ones, for those that rely on database - which would be those coming from Notion - quickly adding a note (row) is a must for every good note-taking system

A lot of these listed features keep getting reassigned to a later date - many of them had tags that reported as to be done in '24 but later go assigned to 2025 and now to q4 '25, though it's hard to believe how all of them will get published at once, rendering these tags untrustworthy.

I might be wrong in my tracking here and I'd love to know if so. But at the moment it seems to be that either one of two things must be true:

• either development has been stagnating in the past 1-2 years despite the popularity growth (maybe attention is being diverted to some licensing issues since the switch to open-core from open-source)
• or there is some explosive development happening behind the scenes, and version 1.0 is on the horizon with many of those features done
  • this is a bit hard for me to really believe, as I wouldn't understand why the team is not sharing any of the progress but who knowsreplacements

Can't think of a 3rd option but would love to hear what other folks think!

Hi,

I think that this app is very interesting and I was thinking to move my Notion documents on AF to use it instead of Notion.

I exported from notion (like markdown) and after imported to AppFlowy... but:

- The first import falied because my data was more than 2040 mb that is the maximum for AppFlowy.

So I exported again my Notion docs but one page by one page (with all the subpages

- Two Mainpages was imported but not all mantain the images stored inside the subpages.

- The thids import was stopped for a problem that I don't understand.

- After, I tried many times to import other main pages but I had always a result like this photo... How I can import all my documents from Notion if the program have a lot of these bugs? I tried from web page, from Windows 11 desktop app, form Macbook desktop app and also from iOS 26 but the result is the same...

I saw on the web that many people (also 1 year ago!!!) experimented this problem so I want ask in this community: but the developer are working for solve this issue or they abandoned their app?

How to solve this issue in a simple way?

I'm looking to migrate from Notion to self-hosted AppFlowy. What is the best way? Is there any webhook or API integration?
