Notes are stored as local Markdown or Org-mode files in a folder the user controls, with daily journal pages as the default entry point, bidirectional links, a graph view, flashcards, PDF annotation, whiteboards and a Datalog-based query language for building dynamic views. Desktop apps run on macOS, Windows and Linux with mobile apps for iOS and Android; synchronisation uses the user's own mechanism (Git, iCloud, Syncthing) or the project's paid Sync service. Plugins and themes extend the editor. The team has been developing a database-backed version with real-time collaboration, which has slowed releases of the file-based edition; the outliner model can feel restrictive for long prose, and block-level file formatting is Logseq-specific.",18 "capabilities": [19 "Outliner editing with block references and embeds",20 "Local Markdown or Org-mode storage",21 "Daily journals, backlinks and graph view",22 "Datalog queries and dynamic views",23 "PDF annotation, flashcards and whiteboards",24 "Plugins, themes and optional Sync"25 ],26 "workflows": [27 "Journal daily and let pages emerge from links",28 "Annotate PDFs and link highlights into literature notes"29 ],30 "advantages": [31 "AGPL-3.0 open source",32 "Local plain-text files",33 "Block-level referencing"34 ],35 "limitations": [36 "File-based edition sees slower updates while the database version is built",37 "Outliner structure suits notes more than long-form writing",38 "Block syntax is Logseq-specific within Markdown files"39 ],40 "prerequisites": [41 "Desktop or mobile device; a sync method for multi-device use"42 ],43 "audiences": [44 "Researchers and students taking networked notes",45 "Developers who prefer open-source tooling"46 ],47 "alternatives": [48 "obsidian",49 "notion",50 "craft"51 ],52 "comparison_notes": "Obsidian is also local Markdown but page-based and closed-source with a larger plugin market; Logseq is open source and outliner-first.
