Logseq — Privacy-First Knowledge Management Platform

Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration. Outliner-based with bidirectional links, block references, queries, and graph visualization. Local-first with optional sync. The open-source alternative to Roam Research.

Quick Use

Use it first, then decide how deep to go

This block should tell both the user and the agent what to copy, install, and apply first.

Download from https://logseq.com/downloads or:

brew install --cask logseq                  # macOS
flatpak install com.logseq.Logseq           # Linux

Key concepts:

  • Journals — daily journal pages are the default entry point
  • Blocks — every bullet is a block with a unique ID
  • [[Links]] — bidirectional links between pages
  • ((Block refs)) — reference any block from anywhere
  • Properties — key:: value on any block
  • Queries — {{query (and (page "project") (task TODO))}}
  • /commands — / to insert templates, dates, embeds
  • Graph view — visualize connections between pages
Intro

Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source knowledge management platform. Created by Tienson Qin. Based on an outliner model with bidirectional linking (inspired by Roam Research), block references, queries, and a beautiful graph view. All data stored as local Markdown or Org-mode files — no vendor lock-in.

What Logseq Does

  • Outliner — everything is a bullet/block
  • Bidirectional links — [[page]] creates two-way connections
  • Block references — embed any block in any page
  • Graph view — visual map of connections
  • Queries — Datalog-based queries across your knowledge base
  • Templates — reusable block templates
  • Flashcards — spaced repetition from blocks
  • Whiteboards — visual canvas (beta)
  • Plugins — 200+ community plugins
  • Local files — Markdown or Org-mode on disk

Architecture

Electron app + ClojureScript. Data stored as Markdown files on local filesystem. Datascript (Datalog) in-memory database indexes blocks for queries and graph. Optional Logseq Sync (E2EE) for cross-device.

Comparison

App Data Model Storage Open Source
Logseq Outliner + graph Local files Yes
Obsidian Vault + plugins Local files No
Roam Research Outliner + graph Cloud No
Notion Database + blocks Cloud No
Joplin Notebooks SQLite + sync Yes

常见问题 FAQ

Q: Logseq vs Obsidian？ A: Logseq 是 outliner-first（日记驱动、块引用强）；Obsidian 是 document-first（长文更好、插件生态更大）。都用本地 Markdown 文件。看你的笔记习惯。

Q: 数据导出？ A: 数据就是 Markdown 文件在你的硬盘上，直接可用。零迁移成本。
