Logseq 4+

Really useful for taking notes and organising… well, everything. Once you know how to use some basic features it’s an amazing and powerful tool. It’s like having a second brain (but with better memory)!

Beware: there’s no how-to guide or documentation, making for a step learning curve/wall if you haven’t used the desktop version. I suggest watching a YouTube video for the desktop version to learn the basics (hint: #hashtags and [[links]] are the key).

There’s a few minor user-unfriendly things, like trying to get [[double brackets]] as a link - always ends up with single brackets only or [[[[too many]]. I’d hope a fix or a user guide will be released to solve a few minor usability things like this.

LogSeq has completely changed the way I take notes or even think about knowledge management tools. First and foremost it has motivated and enabled me to take far more notes than I ever have and I’ve been using the desktop app consistently for about 3 months taking both personal and work notes daily. It has been a game changer for me.

That being said both the apps and the ecosystem of plugins are limited and in a lot of ways inhibit productivity. The apps perform poorly even on very high end machines and their UX is hardly intuitive. Given that they are quite new and LogSeq has only started raising significant capital I’m excited to see how they’ll improve and I’m seriously hoping the developers will choose to go with native technologies instead of half-baked cross-platform technologies which really aren’t meant to display walls of dense text and heavy amounts of content.

Using it on iPhone in conjunction with möbius sync to sync with sync thing on other platforms. Unable to read/write to the graph in möbius directory. No logsec update for 3 months since last update. Given up.
