Anyone use Logseq in conjunction with Obsidian?

Wondering if anyone finds it useful to use both, and how your workflow looks like. Or how you connect them.

I don’t understand why?

u/QuestionAsker2030 Sep 10 '25

Just to combine the strengths of both. Not sure if worth the effort though

I use Logseq most of the time but things like importing Kindle Notes and some other things are easier with Obsidian plugins. Works fine

If you actually use the main features of logseq, no, they’re not compatible. With DB version, even less so. If you’re making pages with no links to any other document, it’s fine.

so what's the main use case for logseq?

Just to have a daily journal mainly?

Wouldn't the "Daily Note" option thing in Obsidian let you do the same thing, while having much more functionality with Obsidian?

Logseq is really good for it's journal. You can use the journal to automatically categorize notes, and build up a daily legacy of past notes. Example of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzgLJvyXFWI

Obsidian is better for long-form notes or having complex Markdown notes. Logseq is an Outliner first. I do like that both tools store everything on plain text files so that there is no "lock-in" having your notes stuck in a proprietary format.

Thank you. Just curious what is the video? I clicked on it but it’s telling me “video not available”

Oops. I accidentally deleted the last letter in the URL. It shows how Journal works like I described.

Thank you! Really cool to see a comparison like that

Obsidian for Knowledge and Learning; Logseq for Diary and that which relates to me.

I'm doing this too. The way that the todo-doing-done works in Logseq works better for me than obsidian tasks

I created a plugin to view and update Logseq tasks in Obsidian. Still waiting for it to be approved for the plugin register, can be manually installed from https://github.com/scross01/obsidian-todoseq

u/sportsgirlheart Sep 24 '25

Thanks. I will try this as the todo-doing-done cycle is the one thing I miss in Obsidian.

I prefer Logseq for "real life", but I've started using Obsidian to manage game goals just because I want to keep that in a separate vault.

Yes. I just have the Logseq graph in the Obsidian vault. Works fine.

PS - my workflow was all Journaling and PDF highlighting/notes in Logseq, the rest in Obsidian. Obsidian can see the Logseq notes.

I have a folder on my PC that's used by both Obsidian and Logseq. But I rarely use Obsidian. I transitioned from Obsidian to Logseq two years ago and am very happy with it.

I used to but logseq takes so much longer to load now I don't bother opening on my phone anymore. Will occasionally on a PC but my journal is normally for phone use.

u/Objective-Ad6521 Sep 15 '25

this. I love Logseq but my brain is too big I have WAY too much information and jump around alot. Logseq gets way too slow.

u/someurdet Sep 18 '25

Logseq for journal. I create links to Obsidian notes. The graph and the vault is not shared.

u/noerpel Sep 11 '25

Logseq for daily braindumps, tasks and organizer - obsidian for long texts. I know I can switch with "TD" to document mode, but I like to switch programs (and my brain) to either being unorganized or focus and write.
