What you type is already what you read. A Markdown editor for Mac, iPad and the browser. There's no preview pane to switch to. Headings grow and take on color right where you type, tables become real tables with borders, checklists become clickable checkboxes, and diagrams are drawn in place. The screen you edit on is the finished document. ■ What people use it for · Turning meeting notes into headings and bullets as the meeting happens · Writing specs and how-tos, then sharing a link for review · Tracking tasks as a checklist and ticking them off · Keeping research notes and reading notes, day by day · Drafting articles and blog posts in Markdown you can paste anywhere · Saving snippets of code and commands with syntax highlighting ■ Features · Styling as you type — headings, bold, italic, quotes, rules, footnotes and nested lists are formatted the moment you write them · Tables render as tables — click one to go back to the raw Markdown and edit it · Diagrams (flowcharts, sequence diagrams and more) drawn inline from mermaid syntax · Code blocks with syntax highlighting and a one-click copy button · Clickable checkboxes (- [ ] / - [x]) · Inline images, plus drag-and-drop upload · Paste a URL and get a link preview card · Six themes (Light, Sepia, Solar, Dark, Night, Contrast) and three text sizes · Available in 12 languages ■ Your files live in your Google Drive · Saved automatically.
