Having spent the summer of 2020 testing out various note-taking tools / apps, there are a few, in my opinion, which really stand out from the rest. One of these is Logseq.

Before going into why I believe Logseq is one of the best note-taking apps out there, it might be worth remembering that instinctively when we need to write something down, the first thing we look for is a pen and some paper. When on the phone and we need to take a number down, the other person instinctively says “do you have a pen ready”. I believe this is because pen and paper:

  • Feels natural,
  • Efficient,
  • Easy to use,
  • Free (minimal cost to owning a piece of paper and a pen),
  • Liberal (only the paper edges define the space you have available),
  • Ownership (you own it and can do what you want with it).

In essence, you can pick up a pen and some paper and write at your heart’s content.

With that out of the way, let’s get into why Logseq, and why I found it (and think you will too) just as easy to use as pen and paper.

Why Logseq?

What makes Logseq what it is, is how the tool came to be, the founder and the team of developers he has with him, in addition to Logseq being a fantastic note-taking tool. The app is still in its early beta days, and there is a lot of development going on, but it is a breeze to use and with each update comes…
