AFFiNE

The Notion and Miro alternative

From $20 / month · billed monthly · cancel anytime

AFFiNE puts documents, whiteboards, and databases in one workspace, so a rough sketch and the plan it becomes live in the same file. It is an alternative to Notion for writing and to Miro for visual thinking, without paying for both and copying between them. Everything a team writes down runs on your own infrastructure, so the notes, diagrams, and project data stay yours.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host AFFiNE?
Hosting AFFiNE on Zenith is $20 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does AFFiNE take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run AFFiNE?
No. Zenith runs AFFiNE for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with AFFiNE?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I manage AFFiNE with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy, configure, inspect or delete your AFFiNE deployment. The agent can read and set environment variables. Write-only secrets stay hidden; generated credentials may be returned. Deployment inspection reports live status, HTTPS reachability and summarized resource usage without exposing credentials. A paid deployment requires price approval. Deletion permanently removes the deployment and its data after separate confirmation. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
