What Tine is

Tine is a free, local outliner that reads and writes Markdown files in the same on-disk format as Logseq. Users can open the same graph in either app without importing or exporting it. The app supports split panes, separate tabs and histories, and saved layouts that remain after a restart. Search filters can refine results, which can appear as lists, tables, or boards through a visual query editor synchronized with query text. Sheets can turn bullets and their children into grids, typed-field tables, or boards with formulas, filters, aggregates, grouping, and CSV or TSV import. Tine can publish graph pages as a static site with search, tabs, split view, and navigation, without a server. It has no built-in sync, so users need to bring a service such as Syncthing, Dropbox, or git. The app says it has no account, advertising, analytics, or tracking and does not upload graph or note contents to Tine servers. Plugins run in a capability-limited sandbox, but the plugin API is experimental and does not support Logseq or Obsidian plugins. Tine is available across desktop and mobile platforms; its iPhone and iPad access is a public TestFlight beta with no App Store listing yet.

Good

  • Works directly with Logseq-format Markdown graphs.
  • Layouts, tabs, and histories can persist after restart.
  • Publishes graph pages as a static site without a server.
  • Does not upload graph or note contents to Tine servers.

Watch out

  • No built-in sync; users must bring a service.
  • Plugin API is experimental and incompatible with Logseq and Obsidian plugins.
  • iPhone and iPad access is a TestFlight beta, not an App Store listing.

Who it suits

Tine suits people who want to work locally with Markdown notes, particularly those who share a graph with Logseq. It may also suit users who want flexible search, Sheets, and static-site publishing and can provide their own sync service.

Verdict

Tine combines local Markdown outlining with search, Sheets, publishing, and compatibility with Logseq's on-disk format. It is free, but users need their own sync service, and iOS access remains a public TestFlight beta.
