Features - LogMark

1Hotkey. Type. Enter. Back to work.

Press Ctrl+PageUp from anywhere - your IDE, terminal, browser, documentation. A capture window appears instantly. Type your thought. Hit Enter. You're back in your previous app in under a second. No window switching, no file picking, no save dialog.

Five entry types - task: for actionable items, idea: for thoughts, block: for when you're stuck, decision: for choices that matter. Or just type without a prefix - Log mode captures raw thought.

Automatic context - Every entry records which application you were in, the window title, your working directory, and current git branch. You never need to write "I was looking at parser.ts when I thought of this."

Smart paste - Paste a screenshot and it becomes an [image] placeholder saved to your vault. Paste HTML from a browser and it converts to clean markdown with images downloaded locally. Paste long text and it creates a linked subpage. Type before and after the placeholder - only your text affects routing.

Toast confirmation - A brief flash confirms your capture landed. No modal dialog. No "are you sure." No interruption.

2Structure without filing.

Type +backend t: fix the memory leak and LogMark routes your task to the backend project folder, creates the file structure if needed, and appends the entry. No drag-and-drop. No folder picker. Your notation IS your organization.

Project routing - +projectname routes entries to project folders. +backend, +logmark, +client-x - whatever matches your work. Folders created automatically on first use.

Two-level routing - +project/scope adds a second level. +logmark/architecture routes to a scoped subfolder for focused organization within a project.

Domain routing - +photography, +cooking, +ml-research - route knowledge to domain folders, separate from active project work.

Route auto-discovery - Type an unknown +route and LogMark offers to create it inline. Pick a category (project or domain), confirm the name, and keep typing. No settings menu required.

Autocomplete - + triggers route suggestions, # triggers tag suggestions, / triggers command suggestions. Prefix matching, arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select.

3Track work without leaving capture.

Capture a task with a natural language deadline, query what's due from the same input bar, and track time on work sessions - all without opening another app.

Natural language deadlines - t: review PR by friday, t: deploy hotfix tomorrow 9am, t: send report by end of day. LogMark parses relative dates, day names, times, and phrases like "EOD" and "COB."

Task queries - /tasks shows all pending tasks. /tasks:today shows what's due today. /tasks:overdue shows what you've missed. Number keys to select, Enter to open in Obsidian.

Startup notifications - When LogMark starts, it tells you about due and overdue tasks. No need to remember to check.

Workflow time tracking - /workflow:start +client #billable begins a timer visible in the system tray. /workflow:stop saves the session to your vault. Same-day sessions aggregate with a timeline.

Time reports - /workflow:report generates filtered reports by date range, project, or tags. The report prefills the capture panel so you can save it directly to your vault.

4Browse what you've captured.

LogMark includes a native viewer for browsing your vault without opening Obsidian. See today's entries at a glance, search across all files, and edit tasks and workflows inline.

Dashboard - Today's entries and type statistics on load. One-click access to recent captures.

Tree navigation - Browse by route (projects, domains) or by type (tasks, ideas, blocks, decisions, diary). Expand folders, select files, read entries.

Type-aware rendering - Tasks show deadlines and completion status. Workflows show elapsed time and session timelines. Entries show parsed tags and routes.

Summary views - Project and domain summaries with entry counts. Category browsing for a high-level view of your vault.

Search and navigation - Search across all logmark files. Back/forward history. Today and Recent buttons in the toolbar. Open any entry in Obsidian with one click.

Inline editing - Complete tasks, edit deadlines, and update entries without leaving the viewer.

5Your AI tools remember between sessions.

LogMark exposes your vault to AI coding tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools can query your decisions, create entries, and track what they worked on. Your vault becomes persistent memory that survives context windows.

MCP server - Run LogMark as an MCP server and your AI tools connect to your vault as queryable infrastructure.

Query your vault - Agents search entries, filter by type and route, load project context. "What did we decide about the caching strategy?" has an answer.

Create entries - Agents capture decisions, tasks, and ideas during work sessions. source: agent attribution distinguishes agent captures from yours.

Session tracking - Each agent work session is tracked with start/end times, entry counts, and a summary of work performed. You see what your agents did in the native viewer.

Cross-entry references - Entries link to related entries via block IDs. An agent can reference the decision that informed its implementation choice.

Human review - Agent-created entries surface in a review queue. Approve, edit, or reject before they become part of your permanent vault.

6Plain markdown. Your machine. No lock-in.

Every capture is a markdown file in a folder you control. No proprietary database. No cloud dependency. No account creation. Your vault works identically in Obsidian, VS Code, or any text editor. Version it with git. Sync it however you want.

Standard markdown - Entries are appended to .md files with timestamp headers and optional context footers. Designed for Obsidian but works with any markdown tool.

Local-first - LogMark runs entirely on your machine. No network calls. No telemetry. No cloud signup. Works offline, always.

Vault templates - Five templates to match how you work: Maker (projects-heavy), Freelancer (clients and billing), Researcher (domains and literature), Minimalist (flat structure), Project Focus (single-project deep).

Multiple vaults - Switch between vaults from the system tray. Separate work and personal, or keep a vault per client.

Obsidian handoff - Open any file in Obsidian with one click. Use Obsidian's graph view, backlinks, and plugins on your LogMark vault. LogMark captures, Obsidian explores.

Skin system - Four visual styles: Mark (geometric orb), VPet (animated sprite companion), Minimalist (simple orb), Headless (system tray only).
