Logue for MAC
Free, open-source Mac workspace for documents, tasks and meetings, with on-device transcription, AI writing tools and an agent. No account needed.
Logue Overview
Logue is a local-first workspace for documents, tasks and meetings on macOS. It has nested spaces, a block editor, typed properties, relations, wiki links with backlinks and saved views, so it will feel familiar if you have used Notion or Obsidian. It also records meetings, transcribes them, separates the speakers, writes the minutes and turns what people committed to into tasks. An AI agent works across all of it.
Logue is made by Bitwize and is free and open source under the MIT license, with no account required. It needs macOS 26 Tahoe or later on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), so it does not run on Intel Macs. The AI runs on your Mac through MLX. The only network calls are model downloads, update checks and the features you turn on yourself, such as web search and external AI providers. The app is Developer ID signed and notarized but deliberately not sandboxed, because it uses the Accessibility API for its inline assistant. On first launch, macOS may ask you to right-click the app and choose Open.

Logue FAQ
Is Logue free?
Yes. Logue is free and open source under the MIT license, and it needs no account.
Which macOS version does Logue need?
macOS 26 Tahoe or later.
Does Logue run on Intel Macs?
No. It needs Apple Silicon, M1 or newer.
Does Logue send my data to the cloud?
The AI runs on your Mac through MLX. According to the project, the only network calls are model downloads, update checks and opt-in features such as web search and external AI providers.
Does a bot join my meetings?
No. Logue records your mic and system audio on your Mac through ScreenCaptureKit, so no meeting bot joins the call.
Can I keep my notes as Markdown files?
Yes. An optional setting stores documents as ordinary .md files in ~/Logue, which you can edit in any editor. It is off by default.
Are my documents encrypted?
Yes, with AES-256-GCM on disk. Documents are the one thing you can opt out of by using plain markdown storage; meeting data is always encrypted.
Is Logue sandboxed?
No. It is Developer ID signed and notarized with the Hardened Runtime, but deliberately not sandboxed, because a sandboxed app cannot use the Accessibility API.
Is there a browser extension?
Yes. An optional Chrome extension lets you ask about the page you are on. It talks to the Logue app over your Mac's loopback address.
Where does the Logue download on logue.FULLMAC.app come from?
The download button leads to the official Logue releases page at https://github.com/bitwize-ai/Logue/releases/latest. logue.FULLMAC.app does not change or repackage the app.
