What's New in MDash

6.3

October 20, 2026

• Write a book in the new Books section, free: chapters in parts, each with a status and its own word goal • Keep Notes & Research and Characters & places beside the manuscript, never counted or exported • Set a Daily target by deadline or by words per day, with a streak and an optional reminder • Add comments to any note and see all of a book’s open comments in one list • Read Whole Book in one continuous scroll, Mermaid diagrams included • Export a book with a title page and contents in three styles: Markdown and text free, EPUB, DOCX and PDF with Pro • Drag a note onto a book in the sidebar to add it as a chapter, on iPad and Mac • Send ten MDash stickers in Messages, five of them animated, on iPhone and iPad MDash 6.3 is made for long writing. Every chapter is an ordinary note, so search, Spotlight, links and iCloud Sync (Pro) work for it as for any note. MDash also has a new icon, a white pen on black. If you’re trying Pro, MDash now reminds you before your free trial ends, and swiping a note in the list now always acts on that note instead of moving the screen. Update MDash on all your devices, Apple Watch and Apple TV included, so book chapters stay out of their note lists.

User reviews

Cool features

It’s a great app with advanced features. I like all the tools and the previews, especially the mermaid diagrams.

Wonderful Notes App Replacement

Such a great method for visualizing notes and for importing/exporting markdowns to see better!

Can’t export

Can’t export without IAP which doesn’t exist

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.
