Usually means generating a link and uploading your conversation to someone else's server. MarkShare skips all that. Paste your Markdown, see it rendered, and share it as a PDF, image, or HTML file — directly from your device. No accounts. No uploads. No tracking. SIMPLE Paste. Preview. Share. That's the whole app. CONVERSATION MODE Share full AI chat conversations with role labels and formatting intact. Paste rich text from ChatGPT or Claude and it converts to clean Markdown automatically. PRIVATE Everything happens on-device. Your content never touches a server. No analytics, no network calls, no data collection. FLEXIBLE Share as a styled PDF, a PNG image, or an HTML file. Choose from 8 themes including Light, Dark, GitHub, Sepia, Solarized, Nord, Dracula, and Gruvbox. FAST No loading screens, no sign-ups, no friction. Open the app, paste, and share in seconds. Your text stays between sessions — no more losing your work when switching apps. Perfect for: - Sharing AI-generated content without public links - Sending formatted notes to people who don't read Markdown - Quick sharing of meeting notes, recipes, travel plans, or documentation MarkShare is free, open source, and built for people who value simplicity and privacy.
