Logseq 2.0.2 for Windows is a free outliner released on October 7, 2026. It works on local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files, and the installer comes from the official server github.com. The source is open under the AGPL-3.0 licence, and the package weighs 145.6 MB.
Who Logseq fits: people who want notes in plain files
Logseq works on top of local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. That suits anyone who wants to keep notes in formats other tools can read. The tags in the catalog data point to backlinks, bi-directional links, graphs and knowledge bases, so it leans toward linked notes rather than isolated pages.
Outlining, to-dos and the gallery cover option
The developer describes writing, organizing and sharing thoughts, keeping a to-do list and building a digital garden. Version 2.0.2 adds a Clear heading slash command and lets gallery cards use URL properties as covers. Video embeds now have resizable desktop players and clickable YouTube timestamps.
The release also covers editing safety. Pending text is saved before you follow page or block references, switch blocks, or set a Deadline or Scheduled date.
Beta status, size and alternatives
The DB version is a Beta, so expect some rough edges. The app is free. Obsidian, Joplin and Notion are among the alternatives if you want a different approach.
What's new in 2.0.2
Version 2.0.2 Beta promises smoother editing, faster startup and more reliable everyday workflows in the DB version. Undo and redo now restore deleted blocks and pages that reference each other, with property schemas and values.
