For Productivity Enthusiasts
Power tools for people who love exploring systems
You're Not Looking for Simple
You've tried Roam Research, Logseq, Obsidian, Notion, Tana, and probably a dozen others. You don't just use productivity tools—you study them. You appreciate when a system rewards deep exploration.
You want power-user features, not hand-holding.
The Outliner You've Been Missing
You know the feeling of Roam or Logseq. That moment when you realize blocks can go anywhere, link to anything, and reorganize instantly. That's where LogToDone starts.
Block-Based Everything
Not pages with sections. Not documents with paragraphs. Pure blocks, all the way down.
```
- Quick thought about project X
- This could connect to that client discussion
- [[Client: Acme Corp]]
- Reference: ((block-uuid-from-3-months-ago))
- Or maybe it's a new project entirely
- Different thought, different block
```
Every block is independently:
- Linkable via `[[Page Title]]` or `((block-uuid))`
- Referenceable (shows up in backlinks)
- Reorganizable (tab/shift-tab, cmd-up/down)
- Embeddable in other contexts
Keyboard-First Workflow
Mouse usage is for screenshots. Real work happens on the keyboard:
Navigation:
- `Cmd+K` - Quick switcher (fuzzy search all pages)
- `Cmd+Enter` - Follow page link
- `Alt+←/→` - Navigate history
Block Manipulation:
- `Tab/Shift-Tab` - Indent/outdent
- `Cmd+Up/Down` - Move blocks
- `Cmd+Shift+D` - Duplicate
- `Alt+Shift+Up/Down` - Move to parent/child
Slash Commands:
- `/todo` - Convert to checkbox
- `/heading` - Make heading
- `/code` - Code block
- `/page` - Reference search
Learn the shortcuts, never touch the mouse again.
Bi-Directional Links and Backlinks
You're familiar with this from Roam, but LogToDone adds structure:
```
Project: [[Projects/Website Redesign]]
- [[Meetings/2025-01-15 Design Review]]
- Discussion about navigation structure
- Action: ((uuid-research-competitors))
- [[Research/Competitor Analysis]]
- Findings from [[Meetings/2025-01-15 Design Review]]
```
Every link creates a backlink. Every block reference shows usage. You see connections you didn't know existed.
Backlinks Panel shows:
- All pages linking to current page
- All blocks referencing specific blocks
- Context around each mention
Build a knowledge graph that emerges from use, not forced structure.
AI That Augments, Doesn't Replace
You don't want an AI that thinks for you. You want one that amplifies your thinking.
Classification Assistant:
- Quick first pass on inbox items
- You review and adjust (keyboard shortcuts, instant)
- Train it with your corrections
Pattern Recognition:
- "You always assign @computer tasks to evenings"
- "Projects without 'outcome' statements stall after 2 weeks"
- "Your 'Learning' area gets neglected in Q4"
Project Planning:
- "Break this vague project into concrete next actions"
- You edit, refine, make it yours
- The AI adapts to your style
You're in control. The AI is a research assistant, not a manager.
Markdown Under the Hood
Everything is markdown. Not "markdown-like." Not "exports to markdown." IS markdown.
```markdown
<!-- block:abc-123-def-456 -->
- Block content
<!-- block:ghi-789-jkl-012 -->
- Nested block (2-space indent)
```
Why this matters:
- Plain text files you can grep, sed, and script
- Bring your own tools (sync to Obsidian, process with Python)
- Future-proof (it's just markdown)
- Git-friendly (track changes, diff revisions)
Want to write a script that finds all high-energy @computer tasks and outputs CSV? Go ahead. Your data, your rules.
Extensibility Mindset
Current integrations:
- Calendar sync (see tasks with deadlines)
- Contact linking (connect actions to people)
- AI provider choice (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, or run local Ollama)
Coming soon:
- Plugin API for custom workflows
- Webhook triggers for automation
- CLI for scripting common operations
- Local-first mode for offline work
Built by someone who gets that power users want options, not lock-in.
Why Productivity Enthusiasts Will Love LogToDone
- Best of both worlds: Outliner flexibility meets structured productivity, enhanced by AI assistance
- Keyboard-first design: Comprehensive shortcuts so you rarely need to touch the mouse
- Power user friendly: Markdown format means you can script, automate, and integrate with your existing tools
Not Just Another Note-Taking App
This isn't Notion with better marketing. It's a thoughtfully designed system for people who think in outlines, work in text, and want AI to assist, not interfere.
What Makes It Different
Roam/Logseq: Great outliner, but no workflow structure. Your tasks drown in notes.
Notion/Coda: Flexible databases, but block editing feels like an afterthought. Not keyboard-first.
Todoist/Things: Task managers, not knowledge systems. Can't capture and develop ideas.
LogToDone: The structure you need, the flexibility of outliners, the power of bi-directional links, enhanced by AI that respects your intelligence.
