Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source knowledge management and note-taking application built with Clojure/ClojureScript. It stores notes locally as Markdown or Org-mode files with Git versioning, and organizes them in an outliner with a linked knowledge graph.

Use cases

• take linked notes with backlinks and a knowledge graph
• manage a personal knowledge base in plain markdown files
• outline daily journals and tasks locally
• keep notes private and synced via git
• replace Roam Research with an open-source alternative
• organize research notes with org-mode support

When to choose

• you want local-first, plain-text notes with git versioning
• you need an outliner with bidirectional links and a graph view
• you prefer markdown or org-mode file formats
• privacy and offline access are priorities

When to avoid

• you need real-time multi-user collaborative editing
• you want a hosted, zero-setup cloud notes service
• you need rich WYSIWYG word-processing layouts
