🚀 Database Version

The Database version (DB version) of Logseq introduces DB graphs while maintaining support for file graphs. See this page to get an overview of the main features for DB graphs. If you are an existing user, see changes with the DB version. The DB version has its own new mobile app (on iOS, with Android coming soon)! To participate in the mobile app alpha, please complete this brief form. The DB version also has a new sync approach, RTC (Real Time Collaboration)! You can use it to sync graphs between multiple devices or collaborate with others. To participate in the RTC alpha, please fill out this form.

The DB version is in beta status while the new mobile app and RTC is in alpha. This means that data loss is possible so we recommend automated backups or regular SQLite DB backups. When using DB graphs, we recommend you create a dedicated test graph and choose one project that’s not crucial for you. When using file graphs, data corruption is possible as some file content can be duplicated. We only recommend using it with file graphs if you make regular backups with git.

To get started with the DB version:

• To try the latest web version, go to https://test.logseq.com/.
• To try the latest desktop version, login to Github and go to https://github.com/logseq/logseq/actions/workflows/build-desktop-release.yml and click on the latest release. Scroll to the bottom and under the Artifacts section download the artifact for your operating system.
• To report bugs, please file them at https://github.com/logseq/db-test/issues.
• For feature or enhancement requests, please file them on Discord on the #db-feedback channel.
• For discussion, see the #db-chat channel in Discord.

🤔 Why Logseq?

Logseq is a knowledge management and collaboration platform. It focuses on privacy, longevity, and user control. Logseq offers a range of powerful tools for knowledge management, collaboration, PDF annotation, and task management with support for multiple file formats, including Markdown and Org-mode, and various features for organizing and structuring your notes.

Logseq's Whiteboard feature lets you organize your knowledge and ideas using a spatial canvas with shapes, drawings, website embeds, and connectors. You can visually group and link your notes and external media (such as videos and images), enabling visual thinkers to compose, remix, annotate, and connect content from their knowledge base and emerging thoughts in a new way.

In addition to its core features, Logseq has a growing ecosystem of plugins and themes that enable a wide range of workflows and customization options. Mobile apps are also available, providing access to most of the features of the desktop application. Whether you're a student, a professional, or anyone who values a clear and organized approach to managing your ideas and notes, Logseq is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their productivity and streamline their workflow.
