Logseq
Logseq is a local-first knowledge base and outliner for organizing notes, tasks, and linked ideas in Markdown and Org files.
What is Logseq?
Logseq is a productivity app for personal knowledge management, note-taking, and task organization. It helps users capture ideas in an outline-based workspace, connect related thoughts with backlinks and references, and build structured notes over time. The desktop app works with local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files, which makes it useful for people who want their notes stored in portable formats instead of a locked-in database. Common uses include daily journaling, project planning, research notes, study workflows, and maintaining a personal wiki or digital garden. Logseq also includes tools for task tracking, queries, whiteboards, and spaced repetition study cards. It is available across desktop and mobile platforms and is commonly used by students, researchers, writers, and other knowledge workers.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Logseq is legitimate note-taking software. Its access to files and folders is expected because the app works with local notes stored on your Mac, and users may also choose optional sync or mobile workflows. Use the folders you intend to manage, and remember that changes in Logseq affect the note files in those locations. If you keep sensitive notes, apply your normal device security and backup habits.
Recommendation: Keep Logseq if you use it for notes, research, planning, or knowledge management. Remove it only if you no longer use the app and no longer need quick access to its local note workflows, and keep backups of any important note folders before making major changes.
