What is Logseq?

Logseq is an open-source note-taking application for storing interests, questions, ideas, quotes, reminders, and reading or meeting notes. Its website addresses students, academics, writers, project managers, and developers as users. Linked References, Queries, and Search support capturing, structuring, and reviewing class notes, while flashcards support memorizing facts and insights. Block References help organize thoughts and turn ideas into essay outlines. Notes remain locally owned and use Markdown files that can be opened in other tools, and mobile apps are available for iOS and Android.
