What's New in MDash

6.0

October 2, 2026

MDash 6.0 is our biggest update yet: notes look finished while you type, the plain Markdown underneath never changes, and there’s a new blue icon. • New MDash mode, now the default: headings, bold, checkboxes, links, photos, tables, math and Mermaid diagrams take shape as you type, and the note stays plain Markdown; Settings ▸ Typography ▸ Writing ▸ Open notes in (Settings ▸ Editor on Mac) switches back to Markdown or Classic • Text pasted from Safari, Mail, Pages, Notes, Google Docs or Word keeps its headings, lists and links as Markdown, and typing / at the start of a line opens an insert menu • Link notes by title with [[Note title]], with suggestions as you type, and see which notes link to this one in the new Links tab of Note Info (ⓘ) • Write math formulas in LaTeX and GitHub-style callouts for notes, tips and warnings; both appear in the preview, in exports and on Apple Watch and Apple TV • Outline lists a note’s headings in a side panel or sheet and jumps to a section in one tap, and the new Typewriter Scrolling keeps the line you’re typing in the middle • Sort By Date Modified, Date Created or Title, with pinned notes kept on top and the order synced by iCloud Sync (Pro) to Apple Watch and Apple TV; you can now also change a note’s creation date in Note Info • A single Return now shows as a new line in the preview and in exports (turn off Keep Line Breaks for the old look), and Settings ▸ General ▸ Diagram Colors gives Mermaid diagrams a fresh default palette with three more to choose from • On iPad and Mac, a floating formatting bar docks at the bottom or either side of the note; on Mac, Settings and Help open in their own windows, and with Pro, AI assistants such as Claude Code and Codex can search, read, create and organize your notes through Settings ▸ MCP

Response from developer

Version 2.0 is here, a lot new features are added. Hope you will like it!

Great and simple. DEWISOTT

Great and simple markdown editor that Does ExactlyWhat It Says On The Tin. Light mode issue mentioned by BrooksDuBois seems to have been fixed by forcing dark mode, but I’ve no issues with that. Thanks dev.

Good App, Definitely Useful

The only issue is the whole app in light mode (OS-level) gives you light tables with very light text, making it unreadable. It doesn't pick up the OS setting, and is basically defaulted to dark mode. I had to switch to dark mode to get tables properly viewable. Still 5 stars because other than that, it's no frills and super useful.
