Minnow vs MD Cast

Minnow: Catch the fish, forget the net. Inspired by Zhuangzi's wisdom, Minnow isn't just a minimalist todo and jot app – it's your partner for a lighter way of living. It helps you capture the essential "fish" (key tasks or insights) and gently forget the "net" (the tool itself). It’s not your typical reminder app, nor a note-hoarding vault. If you, like us: crave focus over constant pings, prefer capturing points & sparks to rigid plans, and have a mind buzzing with ideas needing a calm space... then you might just love Minnow. Four Spaces: • Now: Where today's focus resides; as is Now, flow within. • Morrow: Where future thoughts gather; no thought for the Morrow. • Gone: Where completed things rest; gone, gone, gone beyond. • Flow: Where insights and ideas land; meaning found, words fade. Effortless Experience: • Simple: Clean design, helping you focus. • Natural: Smooth gestures, delightful haptics & sound. • Widgets: Quick access to Now & Flow on the go. • No Nagging: No deadlines, no reminders. Your flow, your rules. Data & Privacy: • iCloud Sync: Safe, seamless sync across your devices. • Private: No sign-up needed. Your data is yours alone. • Export: Export your data as Markdown files anytime, keeping you in control.

MD Cast is a focused Markdown editor for iPad and iPhone that lets you apply your own style and export to PDF. Customize fonts, colors, line spacing, table styles, and paper settings — then save the whole look as your own theme. Open another Markdown file later and apply the same theme with a single tap. ■ Your style, all the way to PDF - Edit: Syntax-highlighted Markdown editor. - Read: Live preview with your typography, margins, and table styles applied. - PDF: Page-accurate paginated preview, ready to share. Three modes in one screen. Write, preview, and export without leaving the flow. ■ Save your own theme + 5 business presets Save fonts, margins, tables, headers and footers — every formatting choice — as your own theme, then apply it to any future Markdown file with one tap. Need a starting point? Pick from 5 presets (Business Report · Academic Paper · Technical Doc · Casual Article · Minimal Memo) and customize from there. ■ Automatic Korean / English / Japanese / Chinese font matching The renderer detects the language of each glyph (via Unicode ranges) and picks the right font automatically. Korean mixed with English stays balanced; Japanese kanji uses a Japanese font; Chinese hanzi uses a Chinese font. ■ Seven bundled OFL fonts (no install required) - Pretendard, Noto Sans KR, Noto Serif KR, Source Han Sans KR - D2 Coding (monospace) - Inter (English body) - Nanum Gothic System fonts and user-imported fonts (.ttf, .otf) are also fully supported. ■ Full Markdown Extended Syntax - GFM tables (with alignment colons) - Task list checkboxes (- [x] / - [ ]) - Strikethrough (~~text~~) - Footnotes ([^label]) - Definition lists (Term :\\n Definition) - KaTeX math (inline $...$, display $$...$$, multi-line environments like \begin{aligned}) ■ Live inspector Adjust typography, font sizes, line height, colors, table headers and borders, paragraph alignment, indentation, quote styles, paper size, margins, headers and footers — every change reflects in under 0.3 seconds. ■ Edit external vault folders directly (NEW in v1.1) Register your Obsidian, iA Writer, or Files-app Markdown folders in the sidebar and edit them directly — no copies. Changes you save in MD Cast appear instantly at the external location and across other apps and devices. The vault stays in the sidebar after the app is restarted. ■ Localized UI in Korean / English / Japanese / Chinese (NEW in v1.1) All UI text follows your iOS system language automatically. Korean experience remains identical to v1.0. ■ Welcome file on first launch (NEW in v1.1) A welcome Markdown file with rich samples (tables, KaTeX math, task lists) appears on the first launch, letting you experience Markdown rendering immediately — no onboarding overhead. ■ Files app integration + iCloud Drive auto-sync Documents created in the app live in your iCloud Drive "MD Cast" folder, so they sync automatically across iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Use the "Export to External…" menu to send a copy from the MD Cast folder to other Markdown or text editors as-is. ■ Fully offline All fonts and the KaTeX math library are bundled inside the app. Every feature works without an internet connection. ■ No ads, no tracking One-time purchase.
