What you give up vs Evernote
- Primarily a local desktop app; there is no official self-hosted web server, only file sync via Git/cloud storage.
- Official sync service is paid and separate from the open-source core.
- The database-backed rewrite has had a long, disruptive transition.
- Mobile apps are less polished and sync can be tricky.
What you gain
- • Full data ownership — self-host Logseq on your own infrastructure.
- • No per-seat SaaS bill (Evernote: repeated price hikes and device limits).
- • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
