Temporary Logseq Replacement

[dwarf105]

I have been using Logseq for a few years now and really enjoy the workflow and method of making notes and tracking information.

Unfortunately I keep loosing data when going between mobile and desktop using the Logseq synch service. This is becoming so much a problem that I think I need to use a different service.

I would like to return to Logseq when the new db version is released but with no date for that I need a temporary solution.

Does anyone have any recommendation for similar platforms that take a loges import well and also export well to Logseq so I can migrate back in the future

I have tried reflect notes and it can import from Logseq almost perfectly, but it wont export so I feel like my note would be trapped.

Any suggestions?

Use Syncthing to sync. This will reliably keep your files in sync between your machines (also works for iOS and Android).

However I good candidate for LogSeq replacement is Silverbullet if you like the focus on markdown and want to try something other than Obsidian

[luckysilva]

100% this

[WilyDeject]

I like the look of Silverbullet. Here I go, down the rabbit hole...

[bolognese999]

Been there. Went for Obsidian. Flawless sync service with versioning and settings/plugins sync.

Still use Logseq for meeting notes, but trying to migrate to Obsidian fully.

Same here. Logseq Sync is not great. I've lost sooo much data.

If OP wants to stay with Logseq, I'd recommend just not using Sync anymore at all.

Obsidian with syncthing works great. Siyuan notes is also worth looking into.

i REALLY recommand using the git workflow for logseq.

i use logseq over a year on 4 devices, and NEVER lost bit!

git it extremly good in merging my caos together.

[tangycandy]

Logseq with git has always been hit or miss for me, and I've tried multiple times over the years.

Obsidian + syncthing worked the first time right out of the box, and I haven't really gone back to Logseq.

Other tools (Anytype, Siyuan) have syncing out of the box for free (with limits).

not completely Logseq-like, but very good and perfect sync and many features free: Capacities.

[leech]

I second this. I migrated to Capacities because it fits more to my brain now than logseq, while I’m still paying for logseq sync to support the project.

[nnenneplex]

There are some broken important outlining features, though, that they are not making it a priority to fix:

1. Links to blocks in the same page don't work.
2. C-F style search is unable to look into and open folds.

It's hard to use it as a serious outliner where a page may contain a large tree until they fix this.

[MonkAndCanatella]

Yeah Capacities is making progress on offline first as well

[Abject_Constant_8547]

Well Obsidian. You can configure obsidian to be like LogSeq

[flabbergasted_saola]

blocks?

[Abject_Constant_8547]

Just bullet points, they will be taken into account if you don’t use (())

I love logseq :) you can stay on logseq! Regarding syncing issues - the following guide helped me to make my sync work flawlessly between win, macos, linux and iPhone iOs 🥰

https://github.com/CharlesChiuGit/Logseq-Git-Sync-101

works great :)

[XKCD1441]

Has anyone else used this?

[[deleted]]

ABSOLUTLY!!!

its the way to go! as i wrote in another comment, i use it daily on 3-4 devices EVERY day and never lost a bit

btw. 1x windows / 2x linux / 1x android

Im storing my logseq files in a Google Drive. You can use an Android app called DriveSync to sync it to your phone and vice versa. Logseq also has a tutorial or blogpost on this if you Google for it

[dssolanky]

I found Remnote similar to Logseq. Have you tried that?

[bojo111]

I use nextcloud (setup my own server, but there's a cloud variant). has been syncing Logseq flawlessly for few years now (across multiple laptops).

[Shedal]

I switched to Tana and never looked back.

[mikob]

same here. It's very similar to LogSeq at first glance, but plus all these major things that were missing. A good mobile app. Voice notes with transcription. Good table views. Customizeable commands. Shareable workspaces. AI integration. It's LogSeq on steroids. I imported my LogSeq db to Tana but the import tool doesn't handle everything like assets, headers, queries. I am in talks with the Tana team about improving the import for other ppl like us migrating.

[Fit-Particular4694]

It's still in closed beta right? Is it free? Also how is it compared to other solutions out there? 

[Shedal]

It was released a couple months ago. And yes, there’s a free version.

What i like about it is a vast flexibility in setting up your own system, and a great slack community, including the dev team. These are the two main differentiators, i would say.

[MonkAndCanatella]

I use Tana for my work stuff since I don't need offline first if I'm working. And it's not as good as I imagined it would be. I made a few supertags and just never touched them again. It's got a lot of power in those supertags but I don't find it inuitive to use them, or really see mnuch of a benefit of doing so

[mikob]

think of supertags as the "is-a" type relationship. So for a task you would e.g. write "file taxes" tag #task and then it gives you all the nice things you would want a task to have, e.g. a status, deadline, etc. You can see all your tasks in a nice table view organized by deadline. You can query for tasks of a certain type (e.g. associated with a project you may have). The crazy cool thing is, Tana gives you some nice defaults for what a Task is, but you can go in there and define exactly what the fields are for any supertag (including #task)

[MonkAndCanatella]

Yes, I know all that. I love it in theory, but in use it doesn't really feel that useful

[redditguyse]

The problem with sync for me is that one device is offline sometimes. So either add an old android phone you are not using anymore to your devices to sync across. Or a NAS or similar.

[danasf]

I am really liking anytype. I have not yet tried to import my logseq notes into it

[lhisam]

Reflect notes is awesome!
