AFFiNE

AFFiNE represents a paradigm shift in productivity software, offering an all-in-one "KnowledgeOS" that breaks down the traditional barriers between documentation, visual collaboration, and data organization. Founded on the principle that creativity flourishes when tools don't constrain thinking, AFFiNE provides a unified workspace where users can seamlessly transition between writing detailed documents, sketching ideas on infinite whiteboards, and organizing information in structured databases. With AI deeply integrated throughout the platform, AFFiNE enhances every aspect of knowledge work—from intelligent writing assistance to automated data organization and visual content generation.

Why deploy AFFiNE on Hostinger VPS

Deploying AFFiNE on Hostinger VPS ensures complete control over your knowledge workspace while providing the performance needed for real-time collaboration and AI-powered features. Unlike cloud-hosted productivity tools with usage limitations and data privacy concerns, a VPS deployment guarantees unlimited storage, concurrent users, and AI processing without per-user costs or feature restrictions.
