SeqLog is a native macOS outliner for people who want their notes to stay ordinary files.
Every note is a plain Markdown file in a folder you choose. There is no database and no proprietary format, so ripgrep, git, or any other tool on the machine reads exactly the same bytes. Full text search runs over the folder itself, so there is no index to rebuild or corrupt.
A daily journal and named pages sit side by side. Wikilinks connect them and every page lists the blocks that link to it. A command palette searches page names and file contents together.
Git is embedded rather than shelled out. Edits are committed in the background, the history panel expands each commit into an inline diff, and any single file can be reverted on its own.
It opens an existing Logseq vault in place, because it uses the same journals/ and pages/ folder layout. Nothing to import, nothing to convert.
Written in Swift on AppKit rather than Electron. Free for macOS.

Bear is what you get when someone builds a notes app that respects developers. It's clean, fast, supports full Markdown, and syncs across devices. Unlike Obsidian, it doesn't require you to set up a vault structure and plugin ecosystem before you can write a single note. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago
I kept track of bugs and ideas in Bear which, if you're in the Apple ecosystem, I highly recommend. When I stumbled on a good idea for a component that might be fun to build (sup, flip card), I'd write it down. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
It's odd that this blogging system is using a name also in use by a writing tool: https://bear.app/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
I got this confused with the Bear note-taking app for a minute (https://bear.app/), since it's in a closely adjacent domain and even has similar value statements. Unfortunate naming collision. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
Bear app is so damn good at markdown (by default) https://bear.app. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
