Inkiostro vs ObGitSync

Inkiostro is a Markdown editor for people who write — notes, documentation, theses, novels. Plain text files that stay yours, a preview that looks like a finished page, and exports ready to hand over. Write in Markdown, or in the visual editor and never see a symbol. Buy once, no subscription. No account, no tracking. WRITE, SEE, FINISH • Two ways to write: the Markdown editor shows the symbols, the visual editor formats as you type, like a word processor. Either way the file stays plain Markdown. (Visual editor: Pro, free for 7 days) • A complete Markdown toolbar: headings, lists, tables and code blocks, one tap away. • A side-by-side preview that comes back exactly where you left it. • LaTeX formulas typeset by KaTeX, and Mermaid diagrams drawn as you type. • 27 preview styles, 11 of them free: GitHub, Sepia, Nord, Solarized and more. With Pro, Manuscript, Book, Report, Academic and others set the page like print. • Focus and Typewriter modes, a live word count and a daily writing goal. FROM DRAFT TO BOOK • PDF with selectable text, formulas and diagrams included. Free, with a small credit line in the footer. • A professional ePub: real chapters, a cover, ISBN, series, footnotes that open over the page, and the accessibility declaration Europe requires. The export sheet tells you what a store would reject — before you send it. (Pro) • A book made of many files: one chapter per file, in a folder, in the order you choose. Arranging it is free; exporting it as a single ePub is Pro. • Self-contained HTML, and page setup for PDF: paper, margins, headers and page numbers. (Pro) NEVER LOSE A WORD • Version history: Inkiostro saves versions as you write. Search them, compare them line by line, and bring back a single word or a whole draft. (Pro) • Backups of your whole library: a dated zip archive with your version history inside, offered when one is due, while the app is open, in a folder you pick. Open it in the Files app and your Markdown files are right there. (Pro) YOUR FILES, YOUR RULES • Unlimited documents, as plain .md files you can open anywhere. • Folders, color labels and tags, with search that filters by tag. • iCloud Drive sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac, with no setup. • External folders: work directly inside any folder on your device or in iCloud Drive. (Pro) INKIOSTRO PRO — ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE One purchase unlocks Pro on iPhone, iPad and Mac, forever. Try it free for 7 days. • The visual editor • Version history with search, comparison and a year of versions • Backups of your library • Professional ePub, HTML, and books made of many files • PDF page setup • Focus and Typewriter modes • External folders • 24 app themes, the Pro preview styles and any font installed on your device MADE FOR • Writers: novels and essays in plain text, out as a real ebook • Students and researchers: notes and theses with proper formulas • Developers: READMEs, documentation and technical notes with diagrams • Anyone tired of paying every month for a text editor • Anyone new to Markdown: the visual editor works like a word processor PRIVACY Your documents stay in your iCloud Drive or on your device. No servers of ours, ever. Inkiostro collects only anonymous, aggregated usage statistics — never personal data, never the content of your documents — and you can turn them off in Settings.

ObGitSync keeps a folder of Markdown notes in step with a Git repository, straight from your iPhone — no desktop, no subscription, no server in the middle. It is built for people who already keep their notes in git and want the same control on mobile: not one opaque "sync" button, but real git, one step at a time. SIGN IN AND GO • Sign in with GitHub — no password typed into the app, and the token stays in the iOS Keychain • Browse your repositories and clone one with a tap • Or point it at any Git host over HTTPS with an access token REAL GIT, NOT AN IMITATION • Commit, Fetch, Merge and Push as separate actions — run one, or run all four in order • Read the diff before you commit, and the diff of any past commit • Browse the commit history, with unpushed commits clearly marked • Write your own commit message • Switch and create branches • Choose merge or rebase per vault • Resolve conflicts in the app: keep yours, keep theirs, or keep both • Discard a single file, or every local change, back to its committed state • Built on libgit2 — the same engine desktop git tooling uses BIG FILES WELCOME • Full Git LFS support: large files are committed as pointers and their content streamed separately, so a vault with files far past GitHub's 100 MB limit still syncs on a phone • Transfers never load an object into memory WORKS THE WAY YOUR NOTES APP DOES • Point ObGitSync at the folder your notes app already uses, and it writes straight into it • A conflict never blocks a sync unless you ask it to • Several vaults at once, each with its own repository, folder and token AUTOMATIC WHEN YOU WANT IT • Sync when the app opens, and on a schedule from every 15 minutes to once a day • Choose what unattended runs do: fetch only, fetch and merge, or a full two-way sync • Shortcuts and Siri actions for every step, plus a URL scheme, so you can build your own routine YOURS ALONE • Your notes, your token and your vault never leave the device except to talk to your own Git repository over HTTPS • No account with us, no analytics, no servers, nothing collected English and 简体中文.
