| File formats | Logseq supports Markdown and Org-mode files. | Import and export formats include OPML, HTML (PRO), text, Bonsai CSV/OTL, Treepad HJT, and Treeline TRLN. |

| Local data | The product states that users own their data locally forever and that it works fully on the device. | The maker says outlines are stored in Android internal flash memory and are usually protected by Android security when the device is not rooted and is password- or PIN-protected. |
| Purpose | Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration. | Outliner organizes shopping lists, tasks, ideas, memos, and small projects in a collapsible tree structure. |
| Support | The Logseq marketplace repository says the team usually responds to malicious-plugin reports within a business day. | The app listing provides the support email [email protected]. |
| Sync limitation | The public-beta Sync service does not support multiple people using the same graph at once, and the maker warns that data loss can occur. | Google Tasks officially supports only two levels, and the maker warns that its experimental multilevel sync can be removed and flatten outlines. |

In their own words
Logseq
Logseq is a free, open-source platform for knowledge management and collaboration, with tools for notes, tasks, and PDF annotation. It supports Markdown and Org-mode files, and connects information through block references, backlinks, linked references, and queries. Logseq supports note sharing and real-time collaboration, and lists Zotero as an integration. The product says users keep their data locally and can work fully on-device; offline access is listed. It is available on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. A plugin and theme ecosystem extends the app, with the homepage listing more than 150 plugins and at least 30 themes. Logseq Sync provides encrypted file syncing across devices. Its public-beta Sync service does not support multiple people using the same graph at once, and the maker warns that data loss can occur. The database version is in beta, while the new mobile app and real-time collaboration features are in alpha; the maker also warns of possible data loss for these. Personal use is free forever. Sync Backer costs $5 a month and Sync Sponsor costs $15 a month, each described as a monthly recurring donation.
Outliner by Alfred Fritz
Outliner by Alfred Fritz is an Android app for organizing shopping lists, tasks, to-do items, ideas, memos, and small projects in collapsible outlines. Each outline can contain unlimited titled activities with notes, due dates, and completion status. You can switch among tree, to-do, due-date, and hashtag-grouped views, although some views require PRO. Activities can be reordered and indented; PRO adds subtree cut, copy, paste, sorting, sharing, full-text search, and formatted notes with bold, italic, font color, and font size. Synchronization options include Google Tasks and Dropbox, with Treeline and OPML options documented in the tutorial. Imports include CSV, Natara Bonsai, Treepad HJT, Treeline TRLN, OPML, and plain text; PRO adds exports such as HTML. The free version has no ads and no sync. PRO requires the separate Outliner Pro Key app. Android is the listed platform, including phones, tablets, and Chromebooks.
