What is Logseq?
Logseq is a productivity app for personal knowledge management, note-taking, and task organization. It helps users capture daily notes, connect ideas with linked pages and block references, and structure information as outlines rather than traditional documents. Many people use it for research notes, meeting notes, project planning, studying, and long-term knowledge bases. The app supports local Markdown-based workflows, and its feature set includes tasks, references, flashcards, whiteboards, and PDF annotation. Logseq is available as a desktop app and is designed for people who want a flexible system for writing, reviewing, and connecting information over time. It is published by Tiansheng Qin and is especially popular with students, writers, academics, and knowledge workers.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Logseq is legitimate note-taking software, and access to files you choose to open is normal for its purpose. Because it is built to store notes, documents, and research material, the main privacy consideration is the sensitivity of the information you keep inside it and whether you enable syncing features. Keep the app updated, use trusted plugins only if you need them, and avoid storing sensitive information in shared or unsecured folders.
Recommendation: Keep Logseq if you use it for notes, research, study, or task management. Remove it only if you no longer use the app and do not need quick access to its features, but make sure any notes or local knowledge-base files you want to keep are backed up first.
