WillisMD Pro

Your words. Your files. Your privacy — on Mac and iPad. WillisMD Pro is a local-first Markdown editor for writers, bloggers, journalists, and knowledge builders. Zero telemetry. No data collection. Your files are just files — keep them local, in iCloud Drive, or in a git repository. We never touch your data and run no service that handles your files. NOW ON iPAD One purchase, both devices. The iPad app is built for reading your knowledge base and writing wherever you think: a clean reading view with your preview themes, a formatting toolbar above the keyboard, long-press previews for wiki links, and a sidebar you can pin as a column or keep tucked away. Open any Files-app folder — iCloud Drive included — or clone a git repository straight onto the iPad. Capture from any app with the share sheet, and use Siri and Shortcuts to create notes, append to your journal, and open documents by name. WRITE WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS Focus Mode removes everything but your words. Typewriter mode keeps your current line centered. Writing goals track daily progress. The daily journal builds a consistent practice. Templates start any document in seconds. Split editor puts two documents side by side. SEE IT AS YOU WRITE WYSIWYG live preview renders headings, bold, lists, tables, code, images, and callouts right inside the editor — raw Markdown reappears the moment you click a line to edit it. Prefer the classics? Keep the source editor with a live preview pane beside it. SYNC ON YOUR TERMS Built-in git support — no command line, no separate app. Clone, commit, pull, push, and sync from the Source Control panel, with your access token stored in the system keychain. Or let iCloud Drive or any Files provider carry your folder. Either way the files stay yours, in plain markdown. BUILD A KNOWLEDGE BASE Wiki-style bidirectional links with [[ autocomplete and hover previews. An interactive knowledge graph maps how notes relate. Backlinks surface every mention of the current note. Tags filter and find content instantly. PRESENT YOUR WORK Turn any document into a slide deck: add "slides: true", separate slides with ---, and present full-screen with a presenter view, speaker notes, and a timer on a second display. Export the deck to PDF. HIGHLIGHT YOUR IDEAS Color-coded callouts — notes, tips, warnings, and more — and inline Mermaid diagrams, rendered in preview and carried through every export: PDF, Word, HTML, and ePub. YOUR DOCUMENT, YOUR STYLE Ten built-in preview and export styles, or design your own with the visual Style Editor — no CSS required. Every export uses your active style. PROFESSIONAL EXPORT PDF with native rendering. Word (.docx) with headings, tables, callouts, task lists, and footnotes. Styled HTML. ePub — a single document or a whole folder as a chaptered book. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No analytics. No crash reporters. No accounts. No third-party SDKs. WillisMD Pro edits your Markdown, locally, privately. Buy once. Own it on Mac and iPad forever. No subscription.
