# 👋 Welcome
# 👋 Welcome to Anytype

{% embed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh_3NHY5eVs" %}

Anytype is a local-first, E2E encrypted software designed as a secure place to create and store digital assets.
Anytype is an **encrypted, local-first alternative** to the cloud-based Internet. 

You can use Anytype to create and connect your tasks, notes, ideas, documents, workflows, and more.
With Anytype, you can build digital spaces around your interests. These spaces can be personal - for diaries, ideas and drafts, or shared - with your family, small communities, teams, neighbors and people with similar interests.

With Anytype, you can safely share your work and use local-first collaboration with others. Our long-term vision is for Anytype to enable large-scale collaboration to create a global repository of interconnected knowledge.
Unlike cloud applications, Anytype puts the control of encryption keys firmly your hands, so you own your data and your social graph. Spaces you create are local first - they can be created offline and can sync peer-to-peer in local networks. 

Explore the documentation here to learn more about using the product, troubleshooting your account, and data privacy.
Anytype is supported by [AnySync](https://tech.anytype.io/any-sync/overview) - an open-source protocol that supports high-performant collaboration over encrypted data and creators’ controlled keys. You can find our codebase here.

For more information about our team and philosophy, please visit our [website](https://anytype.io).
WIth every architectural choice, we aim to make [fundamental digital freedoms](https://youtu.be/6Hyr881Xi8A?si=tVftb8x9V5koMt0U) unconditional. Here you can read more of our thoughts on [cloud vs. local first Internet](https://blog.anytype.io/the-nervous-system-of-humanity-needs-an-upgrade/).

You can also explore pre-made templates and experiences from our community in our [Experience Gallery](https://gallery.any.coop).

# Space

A **Space** is a container for your graph of objects.
Inside your Vault, you have **Spaces**. A **Space** is a container for your graph of objects.

Similar to vault, space is an encrypted container. Unlike your Vault - each space has unique access rights - you can decide who has access to each space.

You’re able to create multiple separate spaces (up to 10), each with their own graph of objects, widget sidebar, and later on - privacy settings. You can have up to 3 shared spaces depending on your [membership](../memberships/monetization/) plan.

# Vault & Key

### Vault

A vault is an encrypted box stored on your device, which holds your information. It allows you to send, receive, and store information with full privacy and ownership over what you create. 

All the spaces you create and share will be stored in your vault. Because public key cryptography is used to secure your vault, it is unbreakable - all computational resources on earth are not enough to break into one vault.

### Key

The key to your vault is generated locally on your device when the vault is created. It is represented by 12 words only you should know. It is like a password that you don’t choose. 

The key decrypts your vault. Only you have access to it. That’s why anytype cannot recover it for you, if it is lost. You can find your key in your Profile Settings.
