A privacy-focused, local-first, open-source, and ready-to-use alternative for Notion & Miro.
One hyper-fused platform for wildly creative minds.
## What is NexBee
NexBee is an open-source, all-in-one workspace and an operating system for all the building blocks that assemble your knowledge base and much more -- wiki, knowledge management, presentation and digital assets. It's a better alternative to Notion and Miro.
## Features
**A true canvas for blocks in any form. Docs and whiteboard are now fully merged.**
- Many editor apps claim to be a canvas for productivity, but NexBee is one of the very few which allows you to put any building block on an edgeless canvas -- rich text, sticky notes, any embedded web pages, multi-view databases, linked pages, shapes and even slides. We have it all.
**Multimodal AI partner ready to kick in any work**
- Write up professional work report? Turn an outline into expressive and presentable slides? Summary an article into a well-structured mindmap? Sorting your job plan and backlog for tasks? Or... draw and code prototype apps and web pages directly all with one prompt? With you, NexBee AI pushes your creativity to the edge of your imagination.
**Local-first & Real-time collaborative**
- We love the idea of local-first that you always own your data on your disk, in spite of the cloud. Furthermore, NexBee supports real-time sync and collaborations on web and cross-platform clients.
**Self-host & Shape your own NexBee**
- You have the freedom to manage, self-host, fork and build your own NexBee. Plugin community and third-party blocks are coming soon. More tractions on Blocksuite.
## Acknowledgement
“We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”. A lot of pioneers have inspired us along the way, e.g.:
- Quip & Notion with their great concept of “everything is a block”
- Trello with their Kanban
- Airtable & Miro with their no-code programable datasheets
- Miro & Whimiscal with their edgeless visual whiteboard
- Remote & Capacities with their object-based tag system
There is a large overlap of their atomic “building blocks” between these apps. They are not open source, nor do they have a plugin system like Vscode for contributors to customize. We want to have something that contains all the features we love and also goes one step even further.
Thanks for checking us out, we appreciate your interest and sincerely hope that NexBee resonates with you! 🎵 Checking https://NexBee.org/ for more details ions.
