Legend vs Tine

Legend brings notes, documents, tasks, email, files, outlines, and projects into one productivity interface. Users organize work in Boards made up of Panes, which provide separate work areas and context switching. Panes can show Outline, grouped, List, or Calendar views, and filters can use prefixes, item contents, words, or tags. Writing features include Markdown, formatting hotkeys, backlinks, and mirrors that connect notes with tasks. The Agenda view sorts tasks by priority and date. Legend says it syncs in real time across devices and collaborators, works offline, and resolves changes after devices reconnect. Its privacy policy describes client-side encryption before item data syncs to Firebase, with optional password encryption. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 10 Panes, one plugin sync account, and unlimited documents and items. Basic costs $5 a month billed annually; Pro costs $9 a month billed annually. The Browser Pane is not available in the mobile app, though saved links can open in a browser.

Tine is a free, local outliner that works with Markdown files in the same on-disk format as Logseq, so users can open the same graph in either app without importing or exporting. It supports split panes, separate tabs and histories, and layouts that remain after a restart. Search can use filters, and a visual query editor keeps in sync with query text while showing results as a list, table, or board. Sheets can turn bullets and their children into grids, typed-field tables, or boards, with formulas, filters, aggregates, grouping, and CSV or TSV import. Tine can publish graph pages as a static site with search, tabs, split view, and navigation, without requiring a server. It has no built-in sync; users need to bring a service such as Syncthing, Dropbox, or git. The maker says graph and note contents are not uploaded to Tine servers. Plugins run in a capability-limited sandbox, but the plugin API is experimental and does not support Logseq or Obsidian plugins. Android builds are available through F-Droid or GitHub; iPhone and iPad access is a public TestFlight beta with no App Store listing yet.
