Can I download the Logseq DB version and use it offline?

Can I download that? Also, are my notes there private/encrypted?

you only can compile it by yourself as far as I know.

# Develop Logseq
## Requirements

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (See [build.yml](https://github.com/logseq/logseq/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml) for allowed version)  & [Yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/)
- [Java & Clojure](https://clojure.org/guides/getting_started). (If you run into `Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at java.io.FileInputStream/open0 (FileInputStream.java:-2). -M:cljs (No such file or directory)`, it means you have a wrong Clojure version installed. Please uninstall it and follow the instructions linked.)

## Clone project

This is a required step before doing any development or production builds.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/logseq/logseq
cd logseq
```

## Browser development

### Development

```bash

worked for me on linux - but still have issues to get it built on macos.
There is also a guide in the docs folder for building the windows version under ubuntu.
But I did not try that.

but as said - it is in early alpha stage. Do not use it for production!

Logseq DB is in the very early stages of alpha testing. We only test the browser version with our alpha testers at the moment; there are no local apps yet.

Regardless, none of your notes is sent to us when using that alpha version of Logseq DB. Everything runs local in your browser cache at the moment, so if you decide to use it make sure you backup often as data loss is still possible (for example when you empty your browser cache).
