AppFlowy is a privacy-first, open-source workspace designed for notes, wikis, projects, and more, giving you full control over your data and customizations. Over the past year, our community-driven approach has focused on delivering a data-privacy-centric, reliable native experience, and extensible platform.
We're thrilled to introduce self-hosting capabilities for AppFlowy, further empowering users to tailor workspaces to their needs. This guide is divided into two key sections:
- Setting up AppFlowy Cloud on your server.
- Building AppFlowy with a self-hosted server.

Bundle ID Conflict
The AppFlowy App built with AppFlowy Cloud currently shares the same bundle ID as the official AppFlowy App. Consequently, you cannot install both versions on the same device simultaneously. We are working on a solution for this issue.
Ongoing Development of Stable Branch
The process of building AppFlowy with AppFlowy Cloud using the stable branch is ongoing. Rapid developments and frequent updates in AppFlowy Cloud mean that new features are constantly being added.
