Sync that won't
lose your notes.
Your notes deserve sync that won't lose data. Craft syncs reliably with zero configuration.
Which one is right for you?
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 with local plain-text files is a hard requirement
You want complete data ownership without any cloud dependency
Free forever with no subscription is essential
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, and an uncertain development future. 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.
Yes. Craft supports real-time collaboration, comments, and team spaces. Share documents with anyone via link. Logseq is fundamentally a single-user tool with no real collaboration features.
Logseq is free and open-source. Craft has a free plan and Plus starts at $5/month with AI, publishing, and sync included. The cost covers features that would require multiple plugins and services with Logseq.
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. Your Logseq pages are already Markdown files in your local folder. Use Craft's Import feature and select the pages folder. Formatting and basic links transfer. Import incrementally for large graphs.
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's publishing requires technical setup (GitHub Pages, Hugo, etc.). Craft makes sharing effortless.
Yes. Craft has native Apple Pencil support on iPad. Mix handwritten notes with typed text seamlessly. Logseq has no handwriting support at all.
Yes. Craft includes AI assistant in all plans – 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 requires setting up iCloud, Syncthing, or Git for sync – which can cause conflicts. Craft's sync just works.
Your Logseq pages are already Markdown files. Navigate to your Logseq graph's pages folder and use Craft's Import feature. Formatting transfers cleanly. Process folder by folder for large graphs.
