We're excited to share a major milestone: our new native iOS app is ready for testing!
Over the past few months, we've been working hard to rebuild the mobile experience with a focus on performance, reliability, and a truly native feel.
This is a significant step forward from our previous WebView-based app.
What's improved?
⚡ 1. Lightning-fast startup (~200ms)
The new app starts in approximately 200ms, compared to 1–3 seconds in the previous version. That's up to 15x faster, making it much easier to capture thoughts and access your notes instantly.
💾 2. More reliable local storage
Your database and assets are now stored directly in Logseq's app directory, rather than in WebView storage.
This gives us better control over local data, improves reliability, and provides a stronger foundation for future features.
🔄 3. Background sync
The new app supports background synchronization, reducing the need to keep Logseq open while your notes sync.
🪶 4. Lower memory usage
The new architecture uses less memory, making the app more efficient.
🚀 5. Faster, smoother experience
Beyond startup time, the entire app feels faster and more responsive. Navigating your notes and interacting with the app is noticeably smoother.
Android is coming soon! 🤖
We're also actively developing the native Android app in parallel!
Our goal is to deliver the same fast, reliable, and smooth experience on both iOS and Android.
We're making great progress and expect to invite the community to test the native Android app soon. Stay tuned!
Help us test the iOS app!
We're now inviting our backers and community members to try the new iOS app and share their feedback.
This is still a testing release, so you may encounter bugs or unfinished features. Your feedback will be invaluable as we work toward a stable public release. We recommend backing up your notes before testing.
Thank you ❤️
Building a faster, more reliable, and truly cross-platform Logseq has been a long journey. These native mobile apps represent an important step forward, and we're excited about what's coming next.
Your continued support makes this work possible. We're incredibly grateful to everyone who has backed Logseq and believed in our vision.
