What is Logseq?
Logseq is an open-source, local-first note-taking app built around an outliner and linked notes.
What does it do?
Notes are bullet blocks stored as plain Markdown or Org files on your own disk, connected with page links and surfaced through backlinks and a graph view. Daily journal pages, queries, flashcards and PDF annotation are included.
What are the alternatives to Logseq?
Obsidian is the nearest local Markdown app but is not open source; SiYuan, AppFlowy and AFFiNE are other self-hostable options; Notion and Tana are hosted and built around structured databases.
