Logseq
Open-source, privacy-first knowledge base for linked notes, outlines and tasks.
Our verdict
What it does well
- Free; no paid plan is listed on the official site or README
- Source is on GitHub under AGPL-3.0
- Desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus a web app
Where it falls short
- Current DB version is in beta; the README warns data loss is possible
- New sync (RTC) and mobile apps are alpha; RTC needs a sign-up
- Android and iOS apps are not yet fully released
Logseq calls itself a privacy-first, open-source knowledge base. Its README describes a platform focused on privacy, longevity and user control, with support for Markdown and Org-mode files. Desktop builds for Windows, macOS and Linux are on GitHub releases, and a web version is at app.logseq.com.
No pricing is shown on the official site or README. The README links to Open Collective and GitHub Sponsors for voluntary support. The latest release, 2.0.2 (October 2026), is labelled Beta and is the DB version.
The README says the DB version is in beta with possible data loss, so it recommends regular SQLite backups and a test graph. Its new sync, called RTC (Real Time Collaboration), and the new mobile app are in alpha. The iOS app is in TestFlight, and Android is described as coming soon.
