Anytype brings your conversations, docs, notes, files and databases together in one private app - offering powerful, local-first collaboration.
Everything you create is end-to-end encrypted, accessible offline, synced securely across devices - and always yours.
---
One app, different ways to collaborate:
. Chats - For collaboration in motion. Create notes, docs or tasks right from your chat window. Start group conversations with teammates or family, and plan ideas without leaving the chat. It’s the fastest way to move from talking to creating.
. Spaces - For structure and focus. Organize projects, teams, family or personal areas into docs, lists and databases. Keep secure notes and essential documents separate from shared work, with clear boundaries for each space.
---
What’s possible with Anytype:
. Create pages & notes - From quick memos to long-form documents with media.
. Edit with blocks - Combine text, tasks or embeds on one page.
. Define content types - Go beyond pages and create custom entities like CV or Research.
. Publish to web - Share your writing, ideas or a new CV beyond Anytype.
. Manage lists & tasks - From simple todos to complex projects.
. Add properties - Use fields like Tag, Status, Assignee or create your own.
. Sort & filter - Create custom views to organize content your way.
. Use templates - Reuse text blocks or bullet lists to speed up writing.
. Save bookmarks - Keep articles to read later or catalog important links.

Anytype - The Everything App version 0.39.2
Updated At: 2025-08-21
Changes: Aug 21, 2025
Version 0.39.2
iOS 0.39.0 Released!
This update marks a big milestone: for the first time, you can take your content from mobile to the web. Alongside that, Spaces are now easier to navigate and join, properties and templates are more convenient to work with, and editing feels more refined.
Web Publishing
You can now publish your Anytype objects to the web directly from the iOS app, bringing full feature parity with desktop and enabling content sharing wherever you are.
- Access the new "Publish to Web" option in object settings.
- Preview your page with a custom URL before publishing.
- Personalize your domain with a unique name on any.org for your published objects by upgrading your membership.
Enhancements
Prominent Undo / Redo Buttons
We’ve added dedicated buttons to the toolbar above the keyboard so they’re always visible while editing.
Paste Images from Clipboard
When you paste an image, it now appears directly as an image block
Scan Documents in / Slash Menu
A new camera action lets you capture and upload document images, inserted as individual image blocks.
QR Code Space Joining
Join a Space instantly by scanning a QR code right from the Vault screen. Tap the + button, choose Join via QR code, and point your camera at an invite. You can also share your own QR code so others can join your Space just as quickly.
Space Search
A new search bar is now available at the top of your Vault screen, making it easier to navigate when you have lots of spaces.
Properties & Templates
We’ve revamped property and template management for a smoother & more organized experience:
- Redesigned Properties panel with clearer layout and expandable sections.
- "Move to Bin" now replaces permanent deletion to help prevent accidental data loss.
- Smarter templates with a cleaner UI, improved default controls and more predictable behavior.
- Visual polish with updated icons, plural naming fixes and header cleanup.
- Behind-the-scenes fixes for filters, type logic and cross-platform consistency.
Embeds
Embed blocks are now partially supported, showing meaningful previews:
- If the embed contains a URL (like YouTube or Soundcloud), it appears as a link block – tap to open it in your browser.
- If there’s no URL (like LaTeX or Charts), it appears as a labeled placeholder so you know what’s inside and can view the content on the desktop.
Fixes
- Added support for .yaml and .yml files in self-hosted setups.
- The recovery phrase can now be revealed without requiring a device passcode.
- Many small design and UI tweaks for your smoother experience.
Anytype - The Everything App version 0.38.4
Updated At: 2025-06-06
Changes: Jun 6, 2025
Version 0.38.4
Hey iOS Community!
We’re thrilled to bring you a foundational update and a major shift in how you organize content in Anytype. We’re introducing a more structured, consistent and intuitive way to work with Types.
Now, layouts and properties are defined directly within a Type, and all associated objects automatically follow those settings – making your workspace more predictable and easier to manage.
Meet the new Anytype
Relations are now Properties
What were previously called Relations are now called Properties. Properties are defined at the Type level, not per individual object. While you can still edit property values on each object, the overall structure comes from its Type.
Properties that were once unique to individual objects will now appear as local properties. You can choose to keep them as-is or add them to the object’s Type if you’d like to make them consistent across similar objects.
Types Define Structure
Types now control the layout and properties of all associated objects. When you create an object of a certain Type, it will follow the same layout and include the same properties as others of that Type.
Templates Focus on Content
Templates no longer define properties or layout. They inherit the object’s settings and control the content, primarily organizing blocks.
Set is now called Query
More than just a rename – each Type page comes with a built-in inline Query, making it easier to access and organize a list of all related objects.
Special Icons for Types
You can now assign custom icons at the Type level, choosing from a dedicated collection to clearly distinguish Types from objects.
Quality of Life Improvements
Automatic Widget Creation
When a new first object of Type is created, a dedicated widget is automatically added to your Home Screen. It displays a subset of objects of that Type within the space, giving you quick access without extra setup.
Widgets are optional – once removed, it won’t reappear unless you add it manually.
Create Objects from Widgets
As a complement to automatic widget creation, you can now create objects from widgets using the plus (+) button.
Unified Search
We’ve reimagined the search experience by merging All Objects into the Global Search. You can now search across Pages, Lists, Media, Bookmarks and Files using a single search bar. Tabs help you filter results by object type, and both your selected tab and search query are remembered between sessions.
New Settings Design
Settings got a full makeover with a cleaner structure and clearer navigation for setup and customization. Also, you can now manage Object Types directly from the Space Settings.
Open Bookmarks in Browser
Opening a bookmark now takes you directly to the URL – not into the editor. On iOS, bookmarks open within the in-app browser, keeping you inside Anytype while still viewing web content.
Better Link Handling
Object links are now easier to share and open, even outside the app. When you tap Copy Link from the object menu, you’ll get a shareable HTTPS link. If the app is already installed, or the link is opened inside Anytype, it takes you straight to the object with no redirection. For shared spaces, the link also includes an invite so others can join instantly.
Minor Fixes
Fixed: MP3 files now load properly.
Fixed: PDFs now open as expected.
Fixed: Toggle arrow expands blocks with empty content.
Improved: Image, Video and File pickers now open automatically when adding a corresponding Media block.

Version 0.35.3
Greetings, Anytype iOS friends! We have a few improvements for your mobile devices in this release. We're hard at work behind the scenes and laying the groundwork for bigger things coming soon. Stay tuned – we can't wait to share what's next. In the meantime, here’s what's new in version 0.35.0.
Quality-of-Life:
- The back button has been moved from the bottom panel to the top left corner, functioning as a standard system component and laying the groundwork for future changes.
- The new profile card now opens when you select another user – whether in Relations (e.g., “assignee”), Mentions in objects, or the List of Members.
- Entry Space is no longer required and can be removed like any other regular Private Space.
- Resolved an issue where Spaces were temporarily missing during the loading state, causing them to appear abruptly and shift in the Vault upon App launch. Spaces now load and display consistently.
- Added a specific error message for invite links associated with remote Spaces. Previously, the message incorrectly stated that the invite link didn’t work. Now, a pop-up will correctly indicate that the Space has been deleted.
- Updated the Settings button in Vault to now display a Profile icon.
