# Export Logseq pages to Markdown

Your Logseq graph as Markdown with front matter, free with no limit.

[Download for Mac](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/exporter-notes-to-markdown/id6741618455?mt=12)

## A Logseq page, as a file.

Page properties become front matter, the outline stays an outline, and `TODO` and `DONE` become checkboxes. A namespace like `projects/poster` becomes a folder, so `[[projects/poster]]` keeps resolving.

`pages/projects/poster.md`

```markdown
---
title: "projects/poster"
id: "66d9f3a2"
created: 2026-03-14T09:20:00
modified: 2026-05-02T18:40:12
source_url: "logseq://graph/notes?page=projects%2Fposter"
tags:
  - "print"
word_count: 19
reading_time: 1
source: "logseq"
source_graph: "notes"
status: "draft"
---
- Poster for the spring show
    - [x] Pick the blue render
    - [ ] Try a second type size
- Printer quotes in [[Print shops]]
```

## What comes out

- Journals and pages: Journals as `journals/2026-09-01.md`, ready for Obsidian's daily notes; pages under `pages/`.
- Namespaces as folders: `projects/poster` becomes `pages/projects/poster.md`, so wikilinks keep resolving.
- Properties as front matter: Page properties, tags and aliases in YAML, plus the graph's name and a `logseq://` link back to the page.
- Tasks as checkboxes: `TODO`, `LATER`, `NOW`, `DOING` and `WAITING` become `- [ ]`; `DONE` and `CANCELED` become `- [x]`.
- Obsidian bases: The same three bases as the Apple Notes export, in `bases/`.

## How it works

1. Connect Logseq: Press connect on the Logseq card and select your graph's folder, the one that holds `db.sqlite` or `pages/`. Then choose an export folder.
2. Sync: Press sync now. Every page and journal is written as Markdown with front matter.
3. Keep writing: Write in Logseq as before; your edits are written to the export.

## Questions

### My graph is already Markdown. Why export it?

If the plain files are enough, use them. Exporter adds YAML front matter from page properties, real checkboxes, namespaces as folders and a link back into Logseq.

### Is it really free?

Yes. Logseq export in Exporter has no limit and no purchase.

## Let Claude read your graph

Exporter's local MCP server serves the Logseq export folder with the rest. [Set it up](https://exporter.dev/docs/mcp).

Connect Claude Code. Claude can then list and read the pages you exported.

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http exporter http://localhost:8744/mcp
```
