About Logseq

Logseq works in bullets rather than pages. Every day opens a fresh journal entry, you write into it, and linking a topic with double brackets makes that topic a page whose references collect automatically. Individual blocks can be linked and embedded, not just whole pages.

The files are plain Markdown in a folder you choose, so Git, Syncthing or any other sync works and nothing is locked in. A new database version with SQLite storage and real-time collaboration is in beta, and the project warns that data loss is possible in it.

Strengths

  • Notes are plain Markdown files in a folder you control
  • Block-level linking and embedding, not just page links
  • Daily journal makes capture frictionless
  • Plugin API with a large community library

Limitations

  • The database version is in beta and the project warns data loss is possible
  • Outliner structure does not suit long-form prose
  • Start-up is slow once a graph gets large
  • Mobile apps lag the desktop, and the new mobile app is alpha
