Logseq is a free and open-source, personal knowledge base and note-taking application which can store data locally. It supports both Markdown and org-mode syntax.[1][2][3]
History
Tienson Qin started Logseq as a platform to store interconnected information on infinite graphs which would run on any device.[1]
Logseq Inc was formed with An Vu, Huang Peng, Tienson Qin, and ZhiYuan Chen as founders, which raised over $4.1M for the growth.[3] This seed funding round included investments from Stripe CEO Patrick Collison, Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke, and ex-GitHub CEO Nat Friedman.[1]
Logseq is being used at Google Brain, IDEO, Meta, Tesla, MIT, Stanford and Harvard.[1]
Features
Logseq works with plaintext formats like Markdown and org-mode, which are stored locally on a user’s device to offer privacy and ownership of data.[4][3]
