Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
AFFiNE is legitimate productivity software. It may store documents locally, sync workspace data through its cloud service if you sign in, and offer AI features that process content you choose to use with those tools. Access to files, notifications, or network connections is normal for a notes and collaboration workspace. If you keep sensitive material in it, review sync and AI settings so your data handling matches how you want to work.
Recommendation: Keep AFFiNE if you use it for notes, planning, whiteboards, or knowledge management. Remove it if you no longer use the workspace, but export or confirm any important local or synced content first so you do not lose documents you still need.
