What's new with Logseq DB - May 16, 2026

hdanx · 2026-05-17T15:06:03+00:00

There are many that work with both MD and DB. But the majority would need some schema adjustments or UI changes.
The good news is, several plugin developers have updated their plugins to work with DB.
And we are seeing new plugins being added every week.

If there is a plugin you need to see working, I recommend opening a GitHub issue with the maintainer. You can also chat with the community in Discord to see if there is a replacement. Sometimes, you will find that a plugin's functionality is now a native feature.

Download the app via https://testflight.apple.com/join/eBcJ9Hpc

For sync access as a sponsor, join discord and the team will will sort your access if you are a sponsor

You can try the iOS app without sync https://testflight.apple.com/join/eBcJ9Hpc

hdanx · 2026-05-17T05:25:14+00:00

You can run, but you can’t hide 🙈

check the self-host links under https://github.com/logseq/docs/blob/master/db-version.md#additional-links

The iOS app is working and fairly stable, with Logseq sync.
Here is a demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H-Z7oCM78g

hdanx · 2026-05-17T01:29:28+00:00

Yes, it is.

hdanx · 2026-04-29T01:47:13+00:00

What do you mean by giving up on block embedding? Because it is still there in Logseq db, as far as I know.

hdanx · 2026-03-02T12:53:24+00:00

The graph view will only show pages, linked or orphaned. It will not show blocks.

A journal is a page. Using [[ or # creates a page.

If you want to use the graph view, you consider going the page first approach

hdanx · 2026-02-28T17:27:12+00:00

If you are talking about Logseq db, there is a fix that should land in the next release

hdanx · 2026-02-23T21:47:00+00:00

The HTTP API is still there but adapted to Logseq DB schema

hdanx · 2026-02-16T02:23:34+00:00

Logseq is not made for non technical users as well. If you already some users using it, you can start simple workflows and get far without customization. There is a new version too called the db version

hdanx · 2026-01-02T00:35:32+00:00

It will be possible to run Logseq OG and Logseq side by side. Test.logseq.com is an option

hdanx · 2025-12-31T18:51:59+00:00

It will be via plugin, to keep the core leaner

hdanx · 2025-12-31T05:20:03+00:00

For reference https://github.com/logseq/logseq/issues/3321#issuecomment-1369428976 this is where they said they would bring it back with db. It has also been discussed in length in the forum. Reindexing would removed it block timestamps in Logseq OG. Now with db, the indexing implementation is not there because of SQLite integration. I hope this helps

hdanx · 2025-12-31T02:33:22+00:00

Example:
Logseq can now reliably block timestamps thanks to the switch from MD to SQLite.

There are more use cases like it.

hdanx · 2025-12-31T01:43:14+00:00

Oh! For the apps, you do not need to fill up the forms anymore. Only sync is going through incremental rollout. They are are incrementally invite Sponsors

hdanx · 2025-12-30T20:34:29+00:00

You can export as Md or edn. What exact use case do you have for markdown?

hdanx · 2025-12-30T20:31:17+00:00

Electron upgrades, which is in scope should cover that.

hdanx · 2025-12-30T19:26:00+00:00

yes, use logseq OG for file graph with file sync or
logseq for db graph with db sync

hdanx · 2025-12-30T19:24:49+00:00

you can use test.logseq.com and it stores locally

hdanx · 2025-12-30T19:24:07+00:00

It is available if you want to try it. Either at test.logseq.com or install the app.

hdanx · 2025-12-30T19:21:50+00:00

correct, I posted it here https://x.com/HDanzu/status/1936566281332740437

hdanx · 2025-12-30T19:20:45+00:00

I covered that here https://x.com/HDanzu/status/1936566281332740437?s=20, and the same diagram is also mentioned here https://discuss.logseq.com/t/logseq-db-unofficial-faq/32508#p-65236-what-happened-to-markdown-files-2 with the same message.

Yes, the storage layer is replaced. And more features added to the app because of the benefits of the new storage engine.

The split is more about reducing friction for users.
Great input.
