### Flexibility: Replace several tools with a single one
### Flexibility: Replace several tools with just one
Most note-taking apps under-powering the information you create and give you strict possibilities for customisation and limited flows. **With Anytype, you can create a system that serves your personal needs.** Do you want a system with different templates and views in different cases? You can make your study space where lessons and courses are linked, accessible from other places (like tasks) and, managed in a database-like view? No problem! Getting things done? OKR? Easy!
Users find us an alternative to Notion that isn't in-depth about the next step of note-taking. We think so also!
Most note-taking apps limit the information and structures you can create, giving you few possibilities for customisation or developing powerful workflows. **With Anytype, you can create a system that serves your personal needs.** Do you want a system with different templates and views for different cases? Do you need to link to your study space - where lessons and courses are stored - with other araes like tasks, and manage it all in database-like views? No problem! Are you used to using one of the many existing work management methods, like Getting Things Done (GTD), or OKR? You can create these and more using the flexibility and power of Antype's simple, built-in tools.

### Think the way you want: Graph and database views
You can think abstract and systematic in the same application. You can create the network of your thoughts connecting things, while more strict structures like database-view are also accessible. You can get the best out of every world.
You can think and navigate in both abstract and systematic ways within the same application. You can create a network of your thoughts, connecting objects together in any way you want, but more defined structures like database views are also available when you need them. You can get the best of all worlds.

# Object
People, Books, Musicians, Documents, Ideas, Places, Numbers, or Files. For instance, a person named "Enda," an essay to write, the music by "Pink Floyd," the film "2001", a town called "Berlin," a year, or just a simple status like "Done". **Everything** inside Anytype is an Object.
People, Books, Musicians, Documents, Ideas, Places, Numbers, or Files. In Anytype these are all "objects". For instance, a person named "Enda," an essay to write, the music by "Pink Floyd," the film "2001", a town called "Berlin," a year, or just a simple status like "Done". **Everything** inside Anytype is an Object, including the other fundamental concepts [relation.md](../relation.md "mention"), [type](../type/ "mention"), and [set.md](../set.md "mention"). All are types of Objects. The _contents_ of objects are Blocks, which you can read more about below.

### Object Canvas
Every object has a flexible canvas made of simple blocks. Each block is a piece of information that you can freely move around the canvas. You can add any information you like by hitting the `+` button or in-line by typing `/`. Highlight a block to see its size or move it elsewhere on the canvas. To create a column, drag one block to the end of another block.
Every object has a flexible editing area that we call the "canvas". The canvas contains "blocks", each of which is a piece of information that you can freely move around the canvas. Blocks can take many forms and enable a wide variety of functionality and design adjustments, including text color and highlighting, alignment, and more. You can add a new blockt to hold any information you like by hitting the `+` button or do so in-line by typing `/`. However over a block to see its size or move it elsewhere on the canvas. To create a column, drag one block alongside another block.
