Getting Started

Download and install

Download SteleKit for macOS, Linux, or Windows. Or try it in your browser — no install required.

Prerequisites for desktop: JDK 21 must be installed. The download page lists the exact build for your OS.

macOS and Linux — Homebrew

brew tap tstapler/stelekit
brew install stelekit

Android — F-Droid

SteleKit is available on our self-hosted F-Droid repository. This gives you automatic update notifications through the F-Droid app.

1. Install F-Droid if you haven’t already
2. Open F-Droid → Settings → Repositories → +
3. Add this repository URL:

   https://stelekit.stapler.dev/fdroid/repo

4. Refresh the repository list and search for SteleKit

Alternatively, download the APK directly from the GitHub releases page and enable Install from unknown sources in Android settings.

Linux — package formats

The GitHub releases page provides:

• .AppImage — works on any distro (recommended for Arch/Manjaro)
• .deb — Debian/Ubuntu
• .rpm — Fedora/openSUSE

# AppImage
chmod +x SteleKit-*-linux.AppImage
./SteleKit-*-linux.AppImage

Open a graph

A graph is a directory of Markdown files. SteleKit reads the same format as Logseq.

1. Launch SteleKit
2. Click Open graph folder and select your Logseq directory — or any folder of .md files
3. SteleKit indexes the files. First open on a large graph takes a few seconds.

If you do not have an existing graph, create an empty directory. SteleKit writes the first journal entry automatically.

What you see

• Left sidebar — page list and recently visited pages
• Main area — the current page as an editable block outline
• Journal tab — today’s daily note, auto-created at startup

Keyboard shortcuts overview

Action	Shortcut
New block below	Enter
Indent block	Tab
Outdent block	Shift+Tab
Move block up	Alt+Up
Move block down	Alt+Down
Search	Cmd/Ctrl+K

See Outliner for the full keyboard reference.

Pointing SteleKit at an existing Logseq graph

SteleKit reads Logseq’s file layout without conversion. Open the root folder of your Logseq graph — the one that contains journals/ and pages/. Your files are not modified.
