WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? User can switch between multiple accounts. For instance, one account utilizes Anytype’s network for synchronization, while another account is synchronized via a local network. HOW COULD IT BE DONE? In the account settings, add a new option labeled ‘Log in with Another Account…

I’d also love this feature for a similar use case. I have a personal local-only vault which I want unlimited local space for, and an Anytype-network vault for sharing with roommates. I’d love to be able to easily switch between them. Could be a “switch vault” option in the vault settings page, show…

I would like to see this feature implemented, maybe not now, but in the near future. My ideal use case for two accounts is the following: One Private Account: This would be with a local or self-hosted network. Ideally, this will be for my PKM system for managing journaling, goals, projects, tasks,…

I have a work account and a personal account to separate and organize my spaces. Almost daily I am switching accounts to get different work done. I would love this feature implemented. It would be nice to have pin codes set for both for added security as well!

This workaround might be useful for you if you often switch between your vaults: Here’s a tweak that works only on desktop: you need to create a separate shortcut for your other Vault and add the --user-data-dir="$path" flag to the launch command (i.e. --user-data-dir="D:\Anytype").

is there a way to do this on mac as well? Or an option to switch easily between 2 vaults?

This should work on a Mac too. Of course, the path will be slightly different, so it should be something like --user-data-dir="/Users/<your name>/AnytypeAltProfile".

Would definitely ease the workflow with like private acc, family acc, business acc. Or just have different accounts for different networks. It’s for sure possible tbh.

Using Anytype only locally, I would really appreciate being able to use multiple vaults at choice to fragment data and avoid a very big vault.

Is this a duplicate of Allow multiple accounts / logins or are you asking for something else?

Amazing! The tweak works. What happens if I open 2 instances of Anytype, because I forgot to close the 1st vault, so both were open and operational. Is there any risk to use both instances at the same time?

Allow multiple accounts / logins

you can do this on desktop by specifying the data directory

I usually have 2 instances open that act totally separated, one for self hosting and one with the anysync network.
