iOS (current beta 27.0.beta) app can’t sign to to self hosted-server 27.1 stable,native/exchange 404
Self-hosted server, web login works fine but the iOS app fails at sign-in with "internal error."
Traced it in my server logs: the app does POST /api/auth/sign-in → 200 (session cookie set, so the password IS accepted), then immediately POST /api/auth/native/exchange → 404. The native exchange endpoint doesn't exist on the current stable server (0.27.1), so native sign-in fails even though auth itself succeeds.
App reports X-Affine-Version: 0.27.0-beta.0. Please either ship the native/exchange route to the stable server branch, or have the app fall back to the session from /sign-in when exchange 404s. Thanks!

Fixed with the new version, please try again.
Should be privacy centric
I like Affine better than Appflowy. But Notion blows both out of the water, especially with AI. All I want is a Notion like experience which is E2E encrypted, or at minimum self hostable and modular WITH the AI function!
Works until it doesn't
Worked with self hosted server until 2 weeks ago with issue signing in. Web version works so the self hosted server is fine. App cannot sign in even after delete and reinstall
Love this on Desktop, but…
I LOVE this on desktop, it’s wonderful. However I can’t sign in to my self hosted server on mobile. I’m unsure if this is a known bug or not.
Response from developer
Fixed in the TestFlight version. Please try using the beta version with the doc instructions: https://docs.affine.pro/self-host-affine/install/configuration
Unable to sign in anymore
I run a self-hosted instance and after the last update I am no longer able to sign in on iOS. I can still login on the web without issue. I am also able to sign in on the macOS app without a problem. I have tried reinstalling the Affine app with no success, please help!
Response from developer
Hey there: We are updating the server right now. We will release 0.27 soon and once you update it the bug will be solved automatically.
I LIKE IT
AFFiNE feels like a flexible workspace that brings notes, whiteboards, tasks, and knowledge organization together in one place. I like that it is open-source and local-first, which makes it feel more trustworthy than many productivity apps. The iOS experience is already clean and useful for daily notes, project planning, and organizing ideas. Some mobile editing details can still be smoother, but overall it is a very promising app that I’m happy to keep using.

Thank you!
Too similar to notion and capacities
Honestly don’t see much of a difference. Also don’t understand why it’s not just one fee (there’s an AI fee once you subscribe). Used it for a total of about 10 mins and stopped. Nice developers though….i will say that
Favorite Notes app, but …
Everything is really good, I was the one testing it earlier, but why can’t I use my Apple Pencil to write/draw? There is a “Pen” function on my laptop, but not on iPad, where it makes sense. Please help
Response from developer
For the Apple Pencil we will need some more time to polish it.
Beautiful and highly functional notes app
Thank you for making another free to use self hostable note taking app. I use this app across multiple devices and in the browser for all my notes. My work is even considering buying an enterprise license. Thank you developers!
Response from developer
Thank you!
This AI APP is beyond amazing!!
I love that my ideas now have a place to thrive with AI. AFFine allows me the ability to finally organize my ideas, concepts, prototypes and built task systems with AI within a beautiful User Experience.

Thank you!!! This Comment is too good to be true hahaha.
AFFiNE Rocks
The mobile app definitely needs desktop equivalent features.
- Deleting workspaces
- Editor preferences like hiding info
- Easy code block copy to clipboard
- Print options
It would be great if settings synced on our server so each client app did not have individual preferences.
These are not complaints though. AFFiNE is the best note taking app I have ever used. The mobile app is well made too, easy and familiar. Great job dev!

Thank you! We are working on it; since we are small team, we can't do too much at the same time but we will keep polish the iOS App for sure.

Beautiful UI! Hope support more function
Use affine in macOS first, I love it! But iOS version only supports basic text edit, even can not edit table view and kanban view, that’s necessary for me, hope to add this function please!
Elegant, Powerful, & Worth the Wait
Love Affine — its clean, elegant design feels clean. Beneath that beauty lies real substance: a powerful, cohesive blocks‑editor that stands out among knowledge‑base apps. Having troubles to connect to very basic no https selfhosted instance, that connecting well on desktop — looking towards to new updates.

Thank you for your review here! The solution here is you need to update the self-hosted version to the latest one. Please follow the instruction in our doc here:https://docs.affine.pro/self-host-affine/install/upgrade
