Whether you live in READMEs, technical docs, meeting notes, or your own writing, every document renders cleanly and opens instantly. BEAUTIFUL RENDERING Headings, bold, italics, tables, task lists, blockquotes, and nested lists all render with care. Fenced code blocks get real syntax highlighting for dozens of languages. Mermaid diagrams — flowcharts, sequence, Gantt, class, and state — and Excalidraw sketches render inline. SVG graphics, LaTeX math, footnotes, images, and embedded video links are supported too, along with YAML frontmatter.

Pick from 14+ built-in themes — GitHub, Solarized, One Dark, Dracula, Nord, Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Rosé Pine, Ayu, Everforest, Night Owl, Kanagawa, Monokai — each in light and dark, or craft your own with a color picker. Set backgrounds like Paper or Sepia, and override the theme per document. Move through long files with a searchable outline and a scrubber, find text with a live match counter, flip to raw source, and pick up right where you left off. A REAL EDITOR, BUILT IN Write and edit with a syntax-highlighted editor and a full formatting toolbar: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, bullet/numbered/task lists, blockquotes, indent and outdent, plus one-tap insert for links, images, tables, and code blocks. Undo and redo, autosave, live preview, and word, character, line, and reading-time stats. ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY Keep everything tidy with folders, tags, and full-text search. Sort by name, created, or last opened, filter by folder or tag, and switch between list and grid. Rename, duplicate, move, and delete with ease. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE Open files from the Files app, the Share Sheet, and AirDrop, paste a link to any Markdown file, or browse public GitHub repositories by owner/repo or URL — then read them offline.
