## What it is

Logseq is an open-source note-taking app built around an outline. Every note is a list of bullets that you can indent, fold, link and reference from other pages. Each day starts with a journal page, so you can write first and organize later through links and tags. Notes are stored as Markdown or Org files in a folder on your computer.

## Why it's here

- **Write first, file later.** The daily journal and links mean you don't have to decide where a note goes.
- **Local and open.** Your notes are plain files, and the app is open source.
- **Tasks in your notes.** TODOs and queries collect tasks from across your pages.

## On CoreDesktop

CoreDesktop installs Logseq as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid and choose a folder for your notes. `update` keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
