## What is Markit?

Markit is where you read and work through your Markdown notes. Everything opens as a clean, typeset reading view; select a passage to highlight it or add a note. On disk it stays a plain .md file that any tool can open.

Reading

Opens straight into a reading view: headings, lists, tables, footnotes and code blocks, all typeset
Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX math render right in the text
Jump to any section from the outline; tap a [[wikilink]] to follow it and come back where you were
Tap an image to see it full screen: swipe between images, pinch to zoom, GIFs play

Annotations

Highlight and annotate any passage; annotations live in the app and never touch your .md
Eight colors, each named by you; any annotation can become a to-do
All annotations in one place, filtered by color or by what’s still open
Use the same iCloud folder as the Mac app and annotations sync between them

Light editing

Tap Edit to make changes, with a format bar above the keyboard: bold, headings, lists, to-dos, links, [[ ]] and # completion
Never interrupts Chinese, Japanese or Korean input while you’re composing
Tick to-dos right in the reading view; the change is written back to the file
Insert photos; they’re saved to the folder’s attachments folder with a relative path

Organizing

Open any folder from iCloud Drive or the Files app, several at once
Nested #tags and backlinks
Full-text search; notes that aren’t downloaded yet can still be found by name

iPad

Three columns: library, file list and document, with an outline or annotations inspector
⌘P Quick Open, and the same keyboard shortcuts as on the Mac
Multiple windows: open a note in a new window to compare side by side
Drag images in from Photos or Files

Share and export

Export to PDF (optionally with your annotations) or HTML, or print
.markit share packages bundle a note with its images and annotations — AirDrop it to a Mac or another device

Your files stay yours

No account, no uploads, no tracking
Changes made elsewhere are detected, with a clear choice instead of silent overwrites
Follows Dark Mode and your text size; eight interface languages
