You can download the latest version of Anytype for your device at download.anytype.io. It is available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Or you can search for 'Anytype' directly on your phone's app store.
If this is your first time, click on 'I am new here'. If you already have an account, click on 'I already have a Key'.
If you would like to use a language other than English for the interface, you can select it in the top right corner.
Your Key is the only way to access your account—treat it like an email and password combined that you can never reset. Store it somewhere secure and never share it with anyone. Anyone who has your Key has full access to your account.
If you lose your Key, your account cannot be recovered—by anyone, including Anytype. This is intentional: Anytype's security model lets anyone create an account without needing permission from a central authority.
Store your Key somewhere safe and never share it with anyone. Whoever has access to your key has access to your account. It cannot be recovered.
In addition to using your Key to log in, you can also use the QR code to log in faster. This is especially handy to sign in on your mobile devices if your desktop is close by. Having multiple devices logged in also creates more backups for you to recover your account from.
Navigate to your Vault Settings.
Click Login Key.
Click on the QR code and scan it with your device.
Once you've created your Vault and saved your Key, you'll land in a sandbox where you can poke around, open things, and break stuff. Go wild and explore with no pressure. When you're ready to start your own work, create a new Channel.
If you'd like a quick overview of how Anytype's core concepts fit together, start with our Overview.
If you would like to import some of your existing data into your Space, you can find the instructions on how to do so in Import & Export.
