What's New in Read Markdown
1.1.2
September 28, 2026
A better iPad experience and cleaner PDFs. • iPad now works like the Mac app: a full menu bar with the same keyboard shortcuts (Cmd+E to edit, Cmd+B / Cmd+I for bold and italic, Cmd+S to save, and more). Hold Cmd to see them all. • On iPad, the formatting bar sits above the editor and stays there, with tooltips when you hover. • PDF export no longer cuts Mermaid diagrams, code blocks, images, table rows or quotes in half across pages, and headings no longer get stranded at the bottom of a page.
