logseq-to-obsidian

A script to migrate notes from logseq to obsidian format.

Run it

Very barebones:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manzanit0/logseq-to-obsidian/refs/heads/master/main.ts \
| deno run --allow-read --allow-write - --in your/logseq/graph --out your/obsidian/vault

Options

• --force: deletes the output directory before writing, if it exists.

What it does

• Change logseq tags to be obsidian links.
• Change logseq TODO format to obsidian TODO format
• Change the obsidian vault config to so that obsidian integrates with logseq directory structure
• Convert logseq numbered lists to standard markdown numbered lists
• Format logseq page properties as frontmatter.
• Nests nested logseq pages in actual directories and updates all relative path references.
• Removs logseq collapsed:: true properties.
• Removes :LOGBOOK: blocks.

Caveats

• Logseq tasks are richer than core obsidian tasks. For instance, obsidian has no concept of deadlines. This metadata is lost.
• In logseq tags and links work the same way, in obsidian they don't. All logseq tags are transformed to obsidian links. This may or may not be up your alley.

Note

I open sourced this for the sake of sharing something that worked for me and maybe save somebody some time. However, this handles the usecases that were relevant for my notes. Make sure to double check if it does for yours.

TODO

• make tag conversion context-aware to avoid changing hashes in code blocks or logseq queries.
• Add deadline information to tasks according to the tasks plugin
• Transform document annotation reference ids to the annotated text.
• Move logseq block properties to markdown frontmatter. This builds on the asumption that properties aren't being widely used by myself, but just ocasionally and could very well be page properties, not block properties.
