Their protocol source is available on GitHub. And there’s no need to copy the data file between devices, the sync works on your own node (if you can build the setup), on the same lan and on encrypted cloud.

AFAIK they have a proprietary data format so your files aren’t really that portable. Therefore I prefer obsidian and syncthing together.

Portable in the sense there is no lock in, I can get up and leave with my data. It’s a bit hard to do that with anytype if they stopped producing features or I wanted my data in another program.

Oh, now I got your meaning. There is a feature to export your data. Someone on Reddit said they couldn’t export “thousands of notes”, but the feature is there. The docs say it. And I used it, but I don’t use another app, and don’t have thousands of notes yet. It’s something to take a look.

You can export your data, but its like exporting your onenote data in PDFs. Your notes will lose the built in functionality and relations.

That’s why I also switched to Obsidian. Used it for a while, but the inability to port it to another app turned me off.
