About Logseq

Logseq for Mac is the desktop build of the privacy-first, open-source knowledge base, licensed under the AGPL-3.0. It organizes notes as blocks in an outline, each of which can be referenced or embedded elsewhere, and links pages together in both directions to form a personal knowledge graph.

The app starts on a daily journal, supports Markdown and Org-mode, and offers tasks, queries and PDF annotation for research and reading notes. Plugins and themes extend its features, and newer releases add database-based graphs that are still in beta. Official macOS installers are published on GitHub for both Apple silicon (arm64) and Intel (x64) Macs.
