Logseq Doctor
Logseq Doctor: heal your flat old Markdown files before importing them to Logseq.
This project is still alpha, so it’s very rough on the edges (documentation and feature-wise).
At the moment, it has both a Python and Go CLI.
The long-term plan is to convert it to Go and slowly remove Python. New features will be added to the Go CLI only.
What is Logseq Doctor?
Logseq Doctor is a command-line tool with commands to manipulate your Logseq Markdown files. It provides utilities to:
- Convert flat Markdown to Logseq’s outline format
- Append content to pages and journals
- Create task backlogs that are easily viewed and prioritized in the mobile app
- Manage tasks in Logseq
- Clean up and tidy Markdown files
- Prevent invalid content to be committed
- And more stuff to come…
Features
- Backlog Management (
backlog): Aggregate tasks from multiple pages into unified backlogs with smart categorization, overdue detection, and focus page generation - Content Management (
content): Append raw Markdown content to Logseq pages or journals - Markdown Integration (
md): Parse and add Markdown content using DOM manipulation with support for parent blocks and journal targeting - Task Management (
task add): Add new tasks or update existing ones with key-based search, preserving children and properties - Tidy Up (
tidy-up): Clean up and standardize your Markdown files - Fast Performance: Written in Go for speed and efficiency
- Outline Conversion (
outline): Convert flat Markdown files to Logseq’s outline format - Task Listing (
tasks): List and manage tasks in your Logseq graph
