Craft

Reliable sync without data loss — no more iCloud conflicts or corrupted files
Polished mobile apps that actually work — not Logseq's barely-functional mobile
Rich documents with media and formatting — not just bullet outlines
Zero setup needed — no git repos, file paths, or plugin configuration
Active development with regular updates and clear roadmap

Logseq

Open-source, local-first knowledge management is a hard requirement
You want complete data ownership without any cloud dependency
A free open-source app with optional paid sync fits your needs
You enjoy tinkering with plugins and building custom workflows

Logseq's open-source promise comes with real costs: users report data loss from sync conflicts, a mobile app many call unusable, alongside a transition between OG and DB versions. Craft just works — reliable sync, native performance, and no file corruption worries.

Common Questions

For many users, yes – especially those who want a polished native experience without managing local files. Craft offers the outlining and linking capabilities you love, with seamless cloud sync, beautiful publishing, and native mobile apps that truly work.

Writers and professionals who want structured thinking without managing file systems and plugins. Craft is fully native on Apple platforms with automatic sync. Logseq is better for those who specifically need local-first file storage and graph databases.

Craft supports real-time collaboration, comments, and shared spaces. Logseq OG Sync does not support simultaneous multiuser collaboration; the DB version offers RTC in alpha for sync and collaboration. Check the release status before relying on it for team work.

Logseq is free and open source, with optional paid Sync and separate DB/RTC release considerations. Craft has a free plan and paid upgrades with publishing and collaboration. Craft AI assistant: Included; limits vary by plan. See current regional pricing.

Publish beautiful web pages, collaborate in real-time, use native Apple Pencil, enjoy seamless cloud sync without configuration, get AI assistance, and use polished native mobile apps. Logseq's mobile app is slower and less feature-complete.

Yes. Craft provides full offline access on all devices. Create, edit, and search without internet. Changes sync automatically when you reconnect. Both apps excel offline, but Craft doesn't require file system management.

Yes, using supported export files. For Logseq OG, import the Markdown files from your graph folder. DB graphs require the export options supported by your installed version. Review block references, properties, links, and attachments after import.

Yes. Craft supports nested blocks and indentation for outlining. It's not as deeply nested as Logseq's bullet-based system, but it handles most outlining needs with a cleaner visual presentation.

Craft is faster on mobile and generally more responsive as a native app. Logseq can become slow with large graphs, especially on mobile. Craft maintains consistent performance regardless of content size.

Yes. Craft has a built-in Daily Notes feature with calendar integration. Similar to Logseq's journal pages but with richer formatting and connected task management.

Yes. One-click publishing creates beautiful web pages instantly. Logseq offers export and publication workflows that vary by OG or DB version and may require external hosting. Hugo is one option, not a universal requirement. Craft makes sharing effortless.

Craft has native Apple Pencil drawing support on iPad. Logseq offers visual and annotation workflows whose availability differs between OG and DB versions, including PDF annotations and drawing integrations. Check the exact version for your needs.

Yes. Craft AI assistant: Included; limits vary by plan — built-in, not via plugins. Write, edit, summarize, and organize with AI help. No setup or configuration needed.

If you value native performance, seamless sync, publishing, collaboration, and not managing plugins and file systems, yes. Craft lets you focus on thinking and writing rather than tool maintenance.

Yes. Craft offers a free Education plan. The polished native apps and seamless sync are better for students who want reliability. Logseq requires more technical knowledge to set up effectively.

Craft is better for writers who want polished output. Beautiful typography, publishing, and distraction-free writing. Logseq is better for researchers who think in bullet-point outlines and block references.

Craft syncs automatically in sub-second time with no configuration. Logseq offers its own Sync beta and DB RTC alpha, alongside third-party options such as iCloud, Syncthing, or Git — which can cause conflicts. Craft's sync just works.

First check whether you use Logseq OG or DB. OG graphs contain Markdown files that Craft can import. For DB graphs, use the export options supported by your installed version. Review properties, block references, media, and links after migration.
