Thanks for reporting. I think we'll need a bit more information in order to help.

What distro are you on? Are you on x86 or some ARM-based architecture? What's the output in the terminal when you try to run the appimage?

Have you made the appimage executable? chmod +x YourApp.AppImage

Screenshots of any output and/or error messages would be very helpful.

Try with

./AFFiNE.AppImage --gtk-version=3

Hi, thanks for getting back.

I am on Fedora 43 Wayland, which uses gtk4 by default.

It only runs with AFFiNE.AppImage --gtk-version=3

So I hope that app can be updated soon.

Yes, that is the way I was able to run it on Fedora.

But this does not work on your Ubuntu setup?

I don't have problem, it's a suggestion for the ticket.

But I'm on ZorinOS, Ubuntu based OS and it's working fine with --gtk-version=3

@adriy-be Sorry, it was meant to be a reply to oleg.

Thank you guys, yes it works with --gtk-version=3 on latest fedora. For now this workaround works, but would be good that the app works with modern systems as well. gtk4 has been there for a while now.
