Logseq is an open-source note taking application that supports Markdown and Orgmode syntax. As it prioritizes privacy, everything is stored locally on your machine for the desktop and web applications. There are mobile apps available for iOS and Android devices.
Logseq provides a very promising feature set: Back links, note graphs (inspired by Roam Research), automated card creation (for learning), templates, and much more.
