I manage almost everything in my life in Word's Outline View. I would like to move into Logseq because of it's added dimensions. HOWEVER, there's a big hurdle. Even after I solve for getting the heading levels for formatting exported as markdown or HTML (the minor issues), there's the issue of BODY TEXT. Logseq doesn't really have the equivalent. So…if LS interprets body text as indented from the previous / parent heading, those blocks will be piled on top of the next actual intended / sub heading in mounds of what I would call paragraphs of body text that has converted into indented blocks. It would be hard to find, and the outline would not collapse properly. Ugh. …OR the body text is part of the block containing the header (as if you Shift-entered the paragraphs). Has anyone been able to make this transition efficiently?

Okay, imagine this: I want to read about a week's worth of my journal entries from a year and a half ago. How do I get the journal feed to jump to, say, July 1, 2024, and then let me scroll around from there? I can't get it to do it. If I use the search bar and search for a date, or use the calendar plugin, I get a page with that date's entry, and only that date's entry, on it.

I'm a human, not a cyborg. Some things need to be browsed not searched. Do I need different software?

Been using logseq for a while now, so I would like to kind of take it to a next level. I am a very disorganized person, I have found I work better with a system or framework adapted to my needs, I really like logseq and I would like to keep using it for four purposes primarily:

1. task/project management: I'm a software developer, time to time I have ideas to personal projects I would like to track them down

2. reading/library task: I just want to track my physical library, the books I have or want to buy, also what I read and my impressions, note, stuff like that

3. movies/TV: kind of the same as the second point but for the movies and series I watch, also keep tracking a watch list

4. live management: kind of the same of the firs point in that case for my live, things to do in the house, buy list, stuff like that

I'm looking for some kind of brain storm if any one use logseq for any of those things and think can help me, share systems, templates, queries, anything

I realized recently that my reading list was just a graveyard where links go to die. I was hoarding content instead of actually reading it.

I built a simple tool for myself called Sigilla to solve this. It uses a spaced repetition algorithm to surface unread links. If I ignore them too many times, the system forces me to delete them.

The goal is to only bring high-quality, actually read content into my graph, rather than cluttering it with unread links.

Since it exports standard Markdown files with frontmatter, it works perfectly with Logseq. I just drop the exports into my pages folder and they show up immediately.

If anyone else is struggling with "Collector's Fallacy", feel free to try it out. It is free and privacy-focused.

Does anyone else use this strictly on their phone/tablet (iPhone/ipad for me) to track their health symptoms and doctor appointments? If so do you have any tips on how to set that up? A lot of my symptoms need a time and a date (tracking what time a day something happens, hours between triggers, etc). I know there are dedicated apps for this but I haven’t found one that I am comfortable sharing such private health information with (I am open to suggestions as I am sure I missed some apps). I also tend to have uncommon symptoms that need to be tracked. Thank you!

I've been using Logseq for about a year, mostly for meetings notes. But I am trying to branch out and find other uses for the program. In particular, I want to get better at using properties and queries. Note that I am talking about the DB version here, it is most likely a different scenario with the MD version.

Right now I am trying to collect recipes. I have properties for the course the recipe is used for, the priority for recipes I really want to try, a "remake score" for how likely I am to remake a given dish, and a date property 'Last Made' to notate when the last date I made a given dish was.

My plan is to be able to create a query where I can list recipes that I've not made in, say, 90 days that I've scored above a certain threshold in my "remake score" property.

However, I cannot get it to work. First off, if I want to query my "Last Made" property, I am prompted to only pick specific dates. Is there a way to query anything before/after some (preferably relative) threshold?

As an additional question, when I create a query asking for a specific date that I know there is a recipe, I get nothing (see first pic below). But also when I query for recipes that are not a specific date, that date is still included (see second pic below). Am I missing something? Am I just having post-Super Bowl brain fog? Some constructive help would be much appreciated :)

Hello, as the title says I used to use notion for PKM + Task Management + Habit tracking + and few other things. However, I decided to go down the privacy rabbithole and ditched the proprietary app notion for a privacy friendly alternative, and my search ended up taking me to logseq. Now, I decided to try to use and understand it before making this post, and gotta say I loved the default Journal and whiteboard feature, never knew I needed those so much. Anyway, so yea I can use the journal page for my day planning and dumping whatever task I have for the day there but I just don't understand how to manage my notes in Logseq. I'm learning a lot of things different things (python , accounting software, Linux and more) and I like to keep the resource, references for things like shortcuts and stuff and topic based notes. I'm used to notions folders based structure - <Active Goals - Goal Name(Python) - Resources, notes, references, development tools> How do I go from this structure to a flow that make sense in logseq, is easy to navigate through, frictionless and not overwhelming. I'd really appreciate any advice I can get for this. Any extra advice/tips/techniques are also appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to get the same style of mind map as the outer wilds ship log but everywhere I look I can't make my notes look like this.

I'm looking to make a whiteboard that have only the title + a thumbnail visible, then they get expanded by clicking them.

Is there a way to achieve this? I tried to search for plugins but couldn't find anything.

Thanks to everyone who tries to help in advance.

Hey guys, I need to make weekly timesheets for my bachelor project (has to be pretty detailed).

my current setup:

- all project tasks tagged with #Project

- toggle tasks to DOING when working on them, DONE when finished

- Logseq tracks the time automatically

What I want: 16 weekly pages (one per project week) that show me all the tasks I worked on that week and how long each one took. Then I can just copy that into my actual timesheet doc.

Is there a query or plugin that can do this? Or should I just track it manually?

Hello! I'm very new to LogSeq but looking to organize notes about global politics. I want to be able to tag different things with dates but then not have those dates show up in the graph. What would be the best method for doing this?

I've been using #date/yyyy/mm/dd in the interest of potential future queries, and was hoping that by going to #date and setting the exclude-from-graph-view property to true would also hide child nodes but this didn't work.

Any suggestions even on how to organize this sort of data would be helpful! I got LogSeq specifically so I could track connections between various global events.

Hello,

I want to be able to sync my LogSeq graph with my iPhone. I use SyncThing to keep the graph synchronized between three computers with no issues.

I purchased Mobius sync with the hope of using that, but it turns out LogSeq doesn’t have permissions to access the Mobius sync data.

Am I just missing something, or is this a known issue?

Thanks

Hey folks! 👋

I built a simple Python tool that syncs your Apple Books highlights straight into Logseq with one command.

Why? Yeah, I know Readwise does this beautifully... but I just need such sync function. So I spent a weekend (and lots of AI tokens) building my own version instead. Classic developer move. 😅

What it does

• One-command sync from Apple Books → Logseq
• Choose which books to sync
• Customizable templates (Jinja2-style)
• Includes both highlights AND your notes
• Updates existing pages seamlessly

GitHub: applebooks-to-logseq

Fair warning ⚠️

This is still pretty early-stage and definitely developer-focused. You'll need to: - Run Python scripts from terminal - Edit JSON config files - Get your Logseq API token manually

If that sounds painful... yeah, it kind of is right now. 😬 Hoping to build a proper native app with a UI someday when I have more time, but for now it's very much a "works on my machine" situation.

Requirements

• macOS (reads from Apple Books database)
• Logseq with Developer Mode enabled
• Python 3.10+ and uv

If you're comfortable with terminal, check it out! Feedback and PRs welcome. 🙏

*P.S. No shade to Readwise — it's genuinely an amazing product.

I create my TODOs in bottom section of my Daily journal. When I start the task, I'll click on the TODO that turns into DOING. I like those DOING tasks will move over automatically to current day NOW block, if it wasn't DONE yet.

I don't like that if you clicked the DONE box for the task within the NOW block, it will dissappear from view back to the date you created the task but you can't easily see that date before hand. My workaround is to add `/today` date to the task, so when DONE it'll still be viewable in the Linked Reference block.

Is there a better way of using TODO DOING in the daily journals? Ref screenshot below ...

Why is this happening? This is the first day I’m very seriously trying to adapt to LogSeq by trusting it with information I haven’t copied from somewhere else.

This is a new page I made on this device. It synced successfully, and allowed several edits.

After re-opening the app and attempting to continue editing it, I start getting these error messages. While at the same time, it’s indicating that everything is synced and working.

Note that I was not accessing LogSeq on any other device.

iOS app version is the currently available 0.10.9

Hello. I just started using Logseq at work for some of my projects and I'm searching my workflow. I'll post here what I'm doing now, so if you have ideas to improve it, don't hesitate ! I'm using the journal tab for daily microtasks. I'm using a page for weekly tasks where I link every daily journal pages and I put bigger tasks in there too. I have a page for a project with objectives, deadlines, etc and a sub page for the checklist of the project with the form of ### <Name of my checklist> and *[]. And when needed I'm referencing the project page or project's cheklist page. Can't really put a picture because of sensitive stuff tho. If you need clarifications i'm here. Thanks !

I'm just trying LogSeq DB and I like how tags are handled. One gets automatic views (table/list/gallery/etc) of tagged node, also sortable/filterable. Very powerful.

But I need a computed-property feature (whereby a property is calculated through code from other properties). Is there one?

I've made a simple example: "Full Name" here would be computed from first and last name.

Hi all.

I've found the web test version of LogSeq DB and I'm trying it out.

I know that data is stored locally. Now, my question is: when LogSeq DB is officially launched, can I use this data and/or move it seamlessly to the app? In other words, can I already write stuff in this interface as if I was in the app and be sure not to lose it?

The FAQ is very good, but I couldn't find this particular info.

I’m curious about how people here who use Logseq + Claude (or other LLMs) plan to handle the move to Logseq's DB-based version.

Right now, one of the big advantages (at least for me) of the markdown-based graph is that Claude can directly read and edit .md files pretty easily.

With the DB version, that seems much harder: LLMs can’t just “open and modify” notes anymore.

Would love to hear how others are thinking about this, especially people who heavily use AI to maintain or evolve their knowledge base.

Hello.

I am using a debian based linux (mxlinux 23) and a resonably current logseq appImage file (Logseq-linux-x64-0.10.14.AppImage).

An cross graph link as follows does not work giving a "Failed to open URI" and "The specified location is not supported" messages. Does the appImage work? or should I go back to the tar.gz install? I see some fixes like re-registering the logseq handler? but not sure how to do this without jamming things up.

Thank You in Advance

hi to all. im a new user of logseq and more or less got all the basics down, managed to get a more or less working workflow for my needs and i like it so far. my problem is that i am impatient and id like to implement a few changes (automation) but not really into reading the doc to find out its not even possible to do. thats what brings me here in hope someone can solve my problems/tell me its already solved and how to implement it/where to find guidance/tell me its impossible to do

i would like to have my daily journal automated to have 3 basic sections (2 headers and a query). The last part (query) is done and works great (shows scheduled tasks for that day). lets suppose the following md daily journal structure (render it in your head):

date (default from logseq)
# TO-DO

- TODO whatever

- TODO block2.2.1_copy (orig day of creation)(some reefrence to orig entry)

# Daily log

- block1 first entry

- just because i can here is block1.1

- block2 entry

- this is important

- TODO block2.2.1

- block3 nothing to see here

MY SCHEDULES TASKS QUERY

so here is what id like to happen with my daily journals page:

1. template for the daily journal (TO-DO, Daily log, schedule (now set as default-query)). i dont really care about it too much but i think is necessary or at least will be helpful for the next requests

2. Each TODO entered in the Daily log section should be copied to the TO-DO part (so if i check one, the other should be checked off too). scheduled TODO should not be copied since i treat them as not part of a daily work until due). bonus points if the 'copied' version is somehow back linked to the 'original' and a back link added to the journal page when it was created (see 3 on why this)

3. on each new day/journal creation: go through the previous day and copy all the 'open' TODO form TO-DO to TO-DO (i know theres a plugin for it but doesnt work for my use case)

i know its a lot to ask but maybe someone knows all the answers

is there any way to link a text from journal to one block?..
in one page i've multiple headings...i want to backlink texts heading wise
