MWeb was born in 2015. It is a writing, note-taking and publishing app focusing on Markdown. If you like Markdown or text writing, We highly recommend you try MWeb. MWeb is composed of a complete and stable editor, a Folders mode for managing documents, a Library mode specifically for notes, and a document publishing and sharing function set, with a total of four modules. The feature of MWeb's software is that it chooses platform-native technology for each platform. It is built using AppKit on macOS and UIKit on iOS/iPadOS. The following is a brief introduction to these four modules. If you are interested, you can continue reading. ## Editor features Here are some of the key features of an editor: * Base on CommonMark syntax and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extended syntax, supporting TOC, tables, code blocks, math formulas, task lists, footnotes, etc. * Display the text of the Markdown document completely without any deletion. * Images can be displayed directly in the Editor, supporting jpg, png, gif, webP, HEIC and etc. * Math formulas, mermaid and Echarts drawings can be previewed in the editor. * You can set your favorite font or multiple fonts for writing. * You can choose from 11 light themes and 21 dark themes, and also support custom themes. * There is a menu to facilitate the input of Markdown syntax, and a special Markdown syntax keyboard is also provided in iOS. * Convenient tools for generating and formatting Markdown table syntax. * You can view the outline and word count of Markdown documents. * Markdown documents can be previewed and support Editor & Preview mode. ## Folders mode The first requirement of Markdown is to create and edit Markdown documents, and MWeb's Folders mode does this. It supports the following features: * Create Markdown, Textbundle documents, or simply open them for editing. * Introduce a folder with Markdown documents into the Folders mode of MWeb. MWeb will provide practical functions such as management of Markdown documents, full-text search, copy and paste to insert images, and unified storage of referenced images. * iPadOS/iOS version supports Dropbox folders. ## Library mode Markdown is so easy to use, so taking notes is also in great demand. Of course, you can use Folders mode and introduce a folder to take notes, which is also very nice and easy to share. So why do we still create a separate Library mode? Mainly, the Library mode has the following features: * There is no need to consider the file name, title and storage location, Just create note and writing. * Use category trees and tags to manage notes. A single note can be classified into multiple categories, making it easier to set categories for notes. * Organizing notes is more convenient. When moving categories and notes, renaming categories will not affect each other. You don't need to worry about incorrect associations between notes, incorrect reference location of images and attachments in notes, etc. * Complete cross-device synchronization using iCloud CloudKit technology. * The Library follows the "local first" principle and is stored in a folder, very easy for backup. Even if you use iCloud sync, your Library can be completely backed up locally. * Export the entire category of notes to PDF or Epub e-book. * The macOS version of MWeb Pro also supports generating static blogs from categories. The generated blog fully supports math formulas, mermaid, echarts etc. Allows you to create your own blog in a very simple way. ## More features... * Publish documents or notes to Wordpress, Metaweblog API, Evernote, Blogger, Tumblr, Yuque, sspai Matrix, Ghost and Medium. * Upload images in documents or notes to imgur, Qiniu, SM.MS, Tencent COS, Youpai, Alibaba OSS, custom API, etc. * Export documents or notes to PDF (with Table of Contents in macOS version). * Export documents or notes to Epub or image.

QuickSheet

Read full description

QuickSheet is a local-first universal grid editor for CSV, TSV, delimited text, value-focused XLSX, structured data, and configuration files on iOS and macOS. It prioritizes data fidelity: values remain literal unless you calculate, format mappings are shown before import, and save or export behavior is explicit. KEY FEATURES: - Delimited-text fidelity: Preserve leading zeros, long identifiers, date-like strings, encoding, delimiter, newline, BOM, quote, and escape style. - 14 grid formats: Work with CSV, TSV, DSV, XLSX, JSON, JSON Lines, Properties, INI/CFG, .env, XML, YAML, TOML, Markdown tables, and text tables. - Structured mappings: Review how records, trees, properties, attributes, comments, and tables map into the grid before editing. - Large-file workflow: Stream rows into temporary local storage so search, filter, sort, and scrolling remain practical; open sensitive or large files Read-Only first. - Import Preview and profiles: Confirm encoding, delimiter, quote, header, skipped rows, mapping, and save fidelity, then reuse trusted choices per file. - Value-focused XLSX: Open multiple sheets as values and formula text with clear compatibility limits instead of claiming full presentation fidelity. - Grid tools: Edit formulas, inspect dependencies and problems, find and replace, filter, sort, fill series, preview paste, manage rows and columns, and undo or redo changes. - Safer file workflows: Detect external changes, keep recovery data, preserve optional backups, and verify supported copy or move operations before removing a source. - VFS Library: Organize supported local, cloud, NAS, and remote locations with folders, search, tags, favorites, Recent, and Trash. PERFECT FOR: - CSV and TSV cleanup, review, migration, and handoff - JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, .env, and configuration-file maintenance - Identifiers, codes, phone numbers, dates, and values that must stay literal - Large delimited files that exceed conventional spreadsheet row limits - Value-level XLSX inspection without unsupported formatting claims GETTING STARTED: - Open a supported file from QuickSheet, the system file picker, or a configured location. - Review Import Preview for the detected dialect or structured mapping. - Search, filter, sort, inspect problems, and edit values or formulas. - Turn off Read-Only only when you are ready to change a large or sensitive file. - Save in place to preserve the current format, save a copy in another supported format, or export selected data. PRIVACY & SECURITY: - File contents are processed on-device. - QuickSheet does not provide hosted sync or shared editing. - Cloud and NAS locations are accessed directly with credentials you configure. - Tags, favorites, import profiles, view state, and recovery data are stored outside source files. FREE AND PRO: - Start with a seven-day ad-free trial. - Free keeps the full feature set and may show mobile advertising or a daily desktop support reminder. - QuickSheet Pro removes ads and reminders through a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.
