Anytype Sync Server joins the registry

2026-09-19 · 0.13.1:0

Sync backend for the Anytype apps, keeping channels current across your devices.

# about

$ man anytype-sync

Runs your own any-sync network so the Anytype desktop and mobile apps sync through your server instead of through Anytype’s. Channels (formerly Spaces) are end-to-end encrypted either way, so this is not about hiding your notes from anyone — it removes the account, the storage quota, and the dependency on infrastructure you do not control. Your channels keep syncing whatever happens to the company. There is no web interface to log in to. This service generates a network configuration file, which you download from it and load into the Anytype app when choosing your network at sign-in. Desktop, iOS and Android all support this. Clients reach the server over your local network, a VPN, or a forwarded port. Tor is not an option: the Anytype apps have no proxy support and cannot dial an onion address. A self-hosted network is a separate identity from an anytype.io account, so existing channels must be exported and re-imported.

# releases

$ git log --oneline anytype-sync

  • 0.13.4:12026-10-21Updates the consensus node to 0.13.3, which accepts connections only once it has fully started.
  • 0.13.4:02026-10-10Updates the sync node to 0.13.4 and the coordinator, file node and consensus node to 0.13.2. These fix connections that go stale and make the server recover when setting up a channel’s membership records fails.
  • 0.13.3:02026-10-02Updates the sync node to 0.13.3 and the coordinator and consensus node to 0.13.1, moves file storage from MinIO to Garage, and makes client.yml carry the ports StartOS assigned. Your files are copied during the update; once they open in Anytype, run Delete Old MinIO Data to free the space the old copy uses.
  • 0.13.1:02026-09-19Initial release for StartOS. Runs a complete single-node any-sync network: coordinator, sync node, file node and consensus node, with MongoDB, Redis and MinIO. Download client.yml from the Network Configuration interface and load it into the Anytype app.
