Logseq
An outliner journal that links your daily notes, tasks and ideas into one private web.

AGPL-3.0-only
What it does
Logseq is a note-taking app built around a daily journal page. You write in bullet points, link to any page or idea with double square brackets, and everything that mentions it shows up there automatically. It also handles to-dos, flashcards and PDF notes, with themes and community plugins. The pinned 2.0.2 release is the new "database version": notes live in a local database instead of Markdown files, and your notes stay on your own device.
- Daily journal pages as the home for everything
- Links and backlinks between any page or bullet
- Tasks, tags with properties, table views, queries, flashcards and PDF notes
- Hundreds of community plugins and themes; desktop, phone and web
Great for: Students, writers, researchers and journallers who think in bullet points and want notes that link themselves together.

How people are using this project
Examples of what people ask their AI to do with Logseq. Start from one, or just tell your AI and it will ask what you'd like.
-
“Every day's journal page should start with 'Grateful for', 'Today's three priorities' and 'Notes', and show my unfinished tasks from yesterday underneath.”
Start with this idea -
“I read about 30 books a year. Set up pages for each book with author, rating and status, and a page that lists everything I'm reading now.”
Start with this idea -
“Make Logseq easier on my eyes: a light warm theme, a bigger font, wider page and no bullet lines.”
Start with this idea -
“I'm learning Spanish. Turn my vocabulary notes into flashcards and remind me to review them each day.”
Start with this idea -
“Add a button that makes a 'Weekly review' page collecting this week's journal highlights and finished tasks, so I can reflect on Sunday.”
Start with this idea -
“Make a plugin that shows only today's tasks and my shopping list in very large text, for the old tablet on the fridge.”

Can I trust it?
- AGPL-3.0-only. Free to use and change. If you run a changed version that other people use over the internet (not just you or your household), you must offer them your source code under the same licence. Private use has no extra obligations.
- Your data: stores personal data, on your own device or server. On your device. Each graph is a SQLite database (in the browser's private storage for the web app). Older Markdown "file graphs" can be imported and converted; Org-mode files are not supported. Nothing is sent to Logseq unless you turn on sync.
- Other services: Logseq Sync (real-time collaboration, RTC) (optional, For Open Collective backers and sponsors, or self-hosted; still alpha); Plugin and theme marketplace (optional, free)
- Pinned version
533ac43. Every handover uses exactly this code, which we've reviewed. - Upstream's README still labels the database version beta and warns data loss is possible; sync (RTC) and the new phone app are alpha. Keep automated backups.
- Plugins and custom.js run with full access to your notes. Install only plugins you trust, and check what AI plugins send to their provider.
- The desktop MCP and HTTP API servers are off by default. Turning them on lets local programs read and change your notes.
- The Docker web app should stay on this computer (127.0.0.1) or behind HTTPS; it has no login of its own.
