I was looking for the best Notion alternative and the best i could found was Anytype although i have a huge problem with it cause it lacks and important feature which is Recurring tasks aka everyday tasks which is an essential feature for me, So is there any workaround or something to achieve the same feature? If not i will use Super productivity dividing my work into two pieces which sucks, Could you please help me?
Just note that Anytype isn’t FOSS
Could you explain?
Btw iam using it locally
Yes, the Anytype license is not considered by the Open Source Initiative to be an open source license. It limits the commercial use of their products, which is against the ethos of open source

No, you’re terribly wrong. The commercial usage is not limited in their products. However, you can’t use the source code of their products for commercial purposes.
Any Association grants you (“Licensee”) a license to use, modify, and redistribute the Software, but only (a) for Non-Commercial Use, or (b) for Commercial Use in Allowed Networks.
wherein
“Allowed Networks” (https://networks.any.coop) are the networks, identified by their unique ids, names, or list of nodes, that are expressly authorized by Any Association, to which the Software may send requests. Any Association may add networks to this list, and, upon reasonable notice, remove networks from it.
So, yes. They do restrict you when it comes to using the software for commercial use.

“Non-Commercial Use” means personal, academic, scientific, or research and development use, or evaluating the Software, but does not include uses where the Software facilitates any transaction of economic value other than on Allowed Networks.
So, unless you use their products to generate your profit directly, e.g, reselling, forking the source for commercial purposes, etc., it’s not considered to be a commercial use according to the license.
In fact, you can even self-hosting their products in a company environment as long as you make it free for all employees to use, let alone personal usage.
Taking the license at face value, facilitating just means making something easier to do. It doesn’t mean the software has to be the centerpiece of the economic transaction.
I do seem to be mistaken, and AnyType does seem to be lenient with it, but I agree with the OP in your linked post. The wording as it is is really vague.
