It was built accessibility-first. Not accessibility-eventually, or accessibility-in-the-settings-somewhere. VoiceOver was at the center of the design from the first line of code, as the app has been fully created by a Blind developer. If you write with a screen reader, this app was made for you. If you don't, you get a clean, fast, native editor that never gets in your way. So what's Markdown? Markdown adds structure to writing using a few ordinary punctuation marks. A number sign makes a heading. A dash makes a list item. Your document stays readable as plain text, and you can render it whenever you want to see the finished formatting. You don't have to know any of this to start. The Insert feature can add common elements for you, and a built-in Markdown Reference is always a tap away. Writing Made Easy: • A native editor with the Markdown punctuation kept visible, so you always control the source • Insert Actions for links, images, headings, quotes, code, lists, tasks, tables, and rules • Automatic list continuation for bullets, numbers, and task lists • Indent and outdent with tabs or spaces, your choice • Find and Replace, dictation, braille input, and text selection through native iOS controls • A configurable Status Bar showing line, column, word count, current heading, and selection • Automatic saving as you pause, plus Save Now whenever you want it Useful Navigation: • Outline lists every heading in your document and jumps straight to one, moving both the cursor and VoiceOver focus • A 3-finger horizontal swipe with VoiceOver will move the cursor through your document headings while editing • Jump to Line for long documents • Search across document names and their contents • Your last editing position is remembered in every file Keep Files Organized: • Nested folders you can create, rename, move, and navigate • Pin the documents you keep coming back to • Sort by name, created, modified, or last opened • Recently Deleted holds removed files until you restore them or clear them out • Import Markdown and .txt files or Import Word .docx files to convert them into Markdown Render and Share: • See your Markdown as structured HTML right inside the app • Share complete standalone HTML, Markdown, plain text, ePub, tagged PDF, eBraille, BRF, or Microsoft Word files • Rendered output uses real semantic headings, lists, tables, links, and landmarks — so what you share is accessible to whoever receives it Your Files, Your Devices: • Documents are ordinary Markdown files, visible in the Files app • Store them on your device, or turn on iCloud Drive to sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac • Open and edit the same files in any other app that reads text • Nothing is locked in a proprietary format, and nothing needs this app to survive Accessibility: Developed toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA and tested with VoiceOver as a primary interaction method. • A predictable, linear VoiceOver reading order • Native controls with the roles and behaviors you already expect • Dynamic Type, including accessibility text sizes, everywhere • System, monospaced, rounded, and serif editor typefaces • Light, dark, and system appearance • Voice Control, Switch Control, and hardware keyboard support • Optional keyboard shortcuts for common actions • Reduced-motion support Privacy: No accounts. No sign-in. No ads. No analytics. No tracking. No data collection of any kind. There is no server behind this app because there doesn't need to be one. Your documents are yours, on your device or in your own iCloud, and they never travel anywhere you don't send them. Made by a blind developer who got tired of using tools that treated screen reader support as an afterthought. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-21 A plethora of ghastly gremlins have been ousted out of all of the Export formats! Tagged PDFs, HTML, eBraille, ePub, and BRF output is now structurally much cleaner and much more widely supported and up to spook, er, spec. You can now provide tactile graphics notation in your markdown so eBraille files can correctly mark them up for multi-line braille displays. These images will also appear properly in the Render view and all export types. All eBraille metadata can now be added in Settings so you don't have to keep typing it with each export. ### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-18 New export options that will make you jump out of your socks! On top of being able to export your markdown files as Word documents, you can now export out in tagged PDF and ePub formats! The output PDFs will be instantly navigable by screen readers and other assistive technologies, and the ePub will come across with a Table of Contents built out of your heading structure, plus will embed any contained images along with their alt text. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-17 You can now import and export Microsoft Word documents in ghostWriter! All supported file elements will get converted into Markdown on import, and you can now Share out any of your Markdown files as a Word document. More details about what Word elements can and cannot be converted can be found in the Settings > Help page. Silly spooks were messing with the Delete screen, and they've been scared off, making it run faster when clearing out files. Thanks again for all the user feedback! ### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-15 VoiceOver users can now move between headings with scrub gestures right in the editor, choose how chatty ghostWriter should be, and hear clearer Markdown confirmations while writing. We also exorcised a few mischievous bugs that were rattling around behind the keyboard. ### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-15 This update streamlines the Library view for both VOiceOver and non-VoiceOver users alike. The scary Actions Menus have vanished and more modern swipe gestures have been applied to your files and folders. A new VoiceOver Verbosity setting has been created, where Full mode can be turned on so VoiceOver speaks and confirms the elements you are creating in the editor on the fly, be left as is in Light mode, or be fully turned off if typing in tomb-like silence is more your thing. ## More apps by Marco Salsiccia - [Oh Craps!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oh-craps/id6757132039) - [Whack A Braille](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whack-a-braille/id6760976367) - [WordBopper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wordbopper/id6766375951) - [Intersector](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/intersector/id6777891238) - [Audio Showdown](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/audio-showdown/id6783993586) All apps by Marco Salsiccia: https://appshunter.io/developer/1864773757 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
