## What is Lezin?

Lezin is a focused Markdown editor for people who want portable documents, native apps, and no subscription.

One Purchase, Full App — Buy Lezin once and use the included features across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through the universal App Store purchase.

Plain Markdown Files — Write directly in Markdown. Your documents stay normal files you can open, move, back up, and edit elsewhere.

Rendered Preview and Split View — Switch to local rendered preview, or use split source/preview workflows on larger iPad layouts.

Files-Friendly Documents — Create new Markdown files, open existing documents from Files, save changes, and keep recent work easy to reopen.

Themes, CSS, and Layout — Choose built-in themes, set app and preview color modes, add custom preview CSS, and cap readable widths on larger screens.

Optional AI-Assisted Editing — Configure your own OpenAI API key and model, then improve, fix, summarize, or continue drafts when you choose.

Images and Export — Insert photos into Markdown, share as Markdown or plain text, export clean PDFs with paper options, or package Markdown and local assets as a ZIP.

Offline First — Normal editing and preview rendering use bundled local resources and work without network access.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-07-30

Lezin 1.2 sharpens the editor:

- Styled Markdown: bold reads bold, italic slants, and headings grow right in the source, so your document previews itself as you type
- Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Code, and Clear Formatting are now in the text selection menu
- Find and Find & Replace, built on iOS's native find bar
- {{ meta.key }} template variables turn green when your front matter can fill them in, orange when it can't
- Import Word documents (.docx) as Markdown
- Drafts: new unsaved documents stay on the homepage until you save them
- The editor and preview use the full screen height
- Do Magic works with your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, Moonshot Kimi, or Z.ai GLM
- Git settings simplified to a single provider selector, including self-hosted GitLab, Forgejo, and Gitea
