## What is Markdown Notes & Memo?

What you type is already what you read. A Markdown editor for Mac, iPad and the browser.

There's no preview pane to switch to. Headings grow and take on color right where you type, tables become real tables with borders, checklists become clickable checkboxes, and diagrams are drawn in place. The screen you edit on is the finished document.

■ What people use it for
· Turning meeting notes into headings and bullets as the meeting happens
· Writing specs and how-tos, then sharing a link for review
· Tracking tasks as a checklist and ticking them off
· Keeping research notes and reading notes, day by day
· Drafting articles and blog posts in Markdown you can paste anywhere
· Saving snippets of code and commands with syntax highlighting

■ Features
· Styling as you type — headings, bold, italic, quotes, rules, footnotes and nested lists are formatted the moment you write them
· Tables render as tables — click one to go back to the raw Markdown and edit it
· Diagrams (flowcharts, sequence diagrams and more) drawn inline from mermaid syntax
· Code blocks with syntax highlighting and a one-click copy button
· Clickable checkboxes (- [ ] / - [x])
· Inline images, plus drag-and-drop upload
· Paste a URL and get a link preview card
· Six themes (Light, Sepia, Solar, Dark, Night, Contrast) and three text sizes
· Available in 12 languages

■ Your files live in your Google Drive
· Saved automatically. There's no save button
· Your Drive folder structure stays as it is — create, rename and delete files without leaving the app
· Shared drives are supported
· Copy a Drive link and share it as-is
· The app only accesses files it created and files you explicitly open

■ Mac, iPad and the web
Edit the same files from the Mac app, the iPad app or your browser (app.monoshiri.jp). Use the iPad on the move, the Mac at your desk and the browser on a machine that isn't yours — and pick up right where you left off.

■ About usage
· Free to use.
· A Google account is required.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

• Fixed an issue where the app could fail to open on iPhone and iPad.

### 1.7.2 — 2026-09-29

• Inline code now appears as an easy-to-spot label.
• Links inside tables can now be clicked to open them.
• Quoted text is darker and easier to read.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-09-20

• The sidebar can now list Google Drive and the folder inside this app side by side. Tap a heading to expand or collapse it, and move between places as you write.
• You can now connect more than one Google account. Sign in with another account from Add location, and each account's Drive appears in the list.
• Search now covers every place in the list, with results grouped by place.

### 1.6.4 — 2026-09-15

• Some bug fixes.

### 1.6.2 — 2026-09-13

• We started measuring how the app is used, so we can see which features earn their place and decide what to improve next.
• **The contents of your notes are never sent.** Not the text, the titles, the file names, the folder names, nor what you searched for.
• In Europe and a few other places you will be asked first. Decline and everything works exactly as before.
• Group features are hidden for now. Until the service behind them is ready, tapping them only ended in a connection error. They will return once it is.
• Plus some small fixes.
