Gasp vs Logseq

Logseq is an outliner. In Logseq, you write everything as bullet points. You can link to any bullet, move it around and search for it on its own. Gasp works like a regular writing app. You write paragraphs and headings, the way you would in a document. The right choice depends on how you like to write.

Moving from Logseq

  1. Download Gasp and open it.
  2. In Logseq OG, your notes (Logseq calls them a graph) are a folder of Markdown files. In Gasp, choose Open a folder and pick that folder. Your pages are in a folder called pages. Your journal entries are in a folder called journals.
  3. Your bullet points stay as bullet lists. Links to pages, written [[like this]], keep working. Links to single bullets, written ((like this)), show as plain text in Gasp.
  4. If you want your notes on more than one computer, turn on sync in Gasp's settings. On a Mac you can use iCloud Drive. On any computer you can use a free, private folder on GitHub, which Gasp sets up for you.

Questions

Can Gasp open my Logseq notes?

Yes, if you use Logseq OG, which saves notes as Markdown files. Your pages, journals, lists and page links open as they are. Links to single bullets and Logseq's search queries don't work in Gasp.

Is Gasp an outliner?

No. Gasp is for writing documents. You can still make bullet lists and nest them with the Tab key. You can also fold any heading to hide the text under it.

Is Gasp's sync free?

Yes. Gasp syncs your notes through your own iCloud Drive or through a private folder on GitHub. Both are free.
