MindMirror lets you turn any file into searchable notes, ask questions in natural language and get instant answers. Traditional note apps trap you in endless folders and tags. You spend more time filing than thinking. MindMirror breaks this cycle with intelligent search that understands what you mean, not just what you type. Why MindMirror โ€ข Drop files โ†’ instant notes. Turn PDFs, docs, and more into clean, searchable notes. โ€ข Smart Search & Q&A. Find anything with natural-language queries and get concise answers. โ€ข Writing Assistant. Summarize, expand, or rephrase text right in the editor. โ€ข Cloud sync. Your notes stay in sync across devices. Built for students & pros From class notes to research and meeting docs, write less, find more. Your notes contain valuable knowledge, but only if you use them. While other apps add more features, we subtract friction. No dashboards to configure. No workflows to learn. No organizational systems to maintain. Just write and trust that you'll find it when you need it. Terms of Use: https://mindmirror.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://mindmirror.app/privacy

About

MarkWrite

Features
Read full description

WYSIWYG Markdown editor that allows embedding pictures and natural language mathematics. MarkWrite is a fast, focused Markdown editor for Mac, iPad and iPhone. Your writing formats itself as you type โ€” headings, bold, lists, quotes, tables and code appear the moment you write them, while the Markdown syntax stays visible only on the line you are editing. Nothing to toggle, no split screen required. EMBED IMAGES, NOT LINKS Drag a picture into your document and it is really there. Grab its corner to resize it and MarkWrite writes the new size back into the Markdown for you. Text and images are saved together in one self-contained document you can move, rename, duplicate or send without leaving a single broken link behind. Images can be embedded in any of the common formats: VS Code, Pandoc or HTML. WRITE EQUATIONS BY DESCRIBING THEM Say what you mean: "x equals minus b, plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four a c, all over two a." MarkWrite turns that sentence into a properly typeset formula. There is no LaTeX to memorise โ€” though you can type LaTeX directly whenever you would rather. Powered by on-device Apple Intelligence; requires a supported device. ALSO โ€ข Tables that line up in the editor, not only in the preview โ€ข Live preview that follows your cursor, side by side or full width โ€ข Themes: fonts, colours, spacing, line height, list spacing โ€” saved as presets โ€ข Callouts, footnotes, highlights, code blocks and inline code โ€ข Export to PDF or print, with your theme applied โ€ข Open a whole folder in tabs and work across files โ€ข Find and replace, including regular expressions STILL JUST MARKDOWN MarkWrite writes ordinary .md files. Nothing is trapped in a proprietary format, nothing is locked in a cloud, and nothing you have written is ever held behind a subscription. Open your work in any other editor, any time, or share it with anyone and they will be able to open it with any Markdown viewer, including the embedded images.
