## What is Richdown?

Plain Markdown, beautiful the moment you type it.

Richdown is a focused Markdown editor that never makes you switch between "writing" and "reading." Headings, tables, code, quotes, task lists, even Mermaid diagrams render inline as you go — so you stay in the flow and watch the finished page take shape.

And Richdown doesn't lock your files inside someone else's cloud. Open folders in iCloud Drive or on your device — or work straight in your own GitHub repositories.

— Write —
• Inline rich preview that keeps up with your typing
• Tables, code blocks, quotes, task lists, Mermaid diagrams and images
• Outline view and in-file search to navigate long documents
• A Markdown toolbar above the keyboard for quick formatting

— Keep —
• Open iCloud Drive or on-device folders and edit in place
• Browse subfolders; create, rename and delete files; sort by name or date
• Pull to refresh. Files are stored on your device (iCloud / local) — nothing is uploaded to our servers

— Connect (GitHub, optional) —
• Open your own GitHub repositories, edit, and commit in one go
• Browse commit history, diff a past version, and restore it
• Switch and create branches; open pull requests
• Traffic goes straight from your device to GitHub; your access token is kept only in the iOS Keychain
  Note: commit, history, diff and restore are GitHub-repository features (plain folders support editing and saving).

— iPad —
• A true two-pane layout: file list on the left, preview on the right

Fast, private, and honest about your files.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-07-22

Major improvements to tables and content viewing.

- Long cell text now wraps to fit the screen width, so tables are readable without horizontal scrolling.
- Removed the size cap on image previews—images now scale to the content width.
- YAML front matter (metadata between - lines) now renders as a clean card with keys and tag chips.
- Collapsible details sections fully render their content, including code, headings, lists, tables, and images.
- Mermaid diagrams size to each diagram's aspect ratio for a cleaner preview.
- Fixed underscores inside table cells being mistaken for emphasis.

Plus smaller rendering fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-07-11

What’s new in Richdown 1.1.1:

- Updated the Richdown rendering engine.
- Added pull-to-refresh for linked folder and GitHub repository file lists.
- Improved file list refresh behavior when files are changed outside the app.
- Includes small stability and display improvements.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-25

It's now easier to see what's changed as you edit.

• Git change markers: added, changed, and deleted lines are marked beside the line numbers, so the diff against the committed version is clear at a glance (GitHub repository files).
• Color swatches: color values in inline code now show a color sample beside them.
• Stronger search highlighting: matches for your current search are easier to spot.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-06-04

No release notes.
