MD Editor opens Markdown, HTML and text files from your device and saves them back in place β€” not into a copy you have to export later.

EDITING - Inline preview: the line your cursor is on stays raw source, every other line is formatted - Syntax highlighting for Markdown, HTML and plain text - A keyboard row with the symbols these formats actually need - Autosave, with conflict detection if the file changed on disk - Files opened from your device are always free to edit and save, with no limit VAULT Documents you create inside the app live in a private vault. The free vault holds three documents. MD EDITOR PRO - Unlimited vault documents - Export to Markdown, HTML, text and PDF - Live HTML preview and render - Connect more than one folder - Syntax highlighting for Python, Swift, JavaScript and more - Mermaid diagram and LaTeX math preview (also in PDF) PRIVACY No account.
