Logseq is the closest peer to mind-map in terms of values — local-first, plain-file, concepts/wikilinks, concepts/backlinks, graph view.
| Logseq | mind-map | |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | Files (markdown or org-mode) | Markdown files |
| App | Electron | Web UI from Go binary |
| Outliner | Yes (bullet-first) | No (prose-first) |
| Block refs | Yes | No (page-level only) |
| Agent access | None | architecture/mcp-server |
| Index visibility | Internal | SQLite (architecture/index-and-search) |
| Size | ~200 MB | ~38 MB |
- Outliner. Block-level structure with collapse/expand. If you think in bullets, Logseq is a better fit.
- Block refs. Embed a specific bullet from another page.
- Plugin ecosystem. Smaller than Obsidian's but growing.
- Plain-text-friendly date journaling. Daily-notes workflow is a first-class concept.
- Agent access. Logseq has no MCP, no public stable API.
- Smaller, faster, no Electron. design/lightweight.
- Visible index. Your SQLite file is portable and queryable.
- Web UI. Runs in any browser, no install.
Logseq leans into the bullet/outliner mental model from Roam. mind-map leans into the prose-document mental model with concepts/wikilinks for cross-references. Different shape, similar values.
