Read full description

MarkSchrift is the plain-text workspace for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Write your meeting notes, your class handout, your next chapter - rendered live as you type. Plan your week, track your projects; your files go anywhere. Every document is an ordinary Markdown (.md) text file you own outright: readable in any editor, synced through your own iCloud, portable forever. No proprietary format, no lock-in. WRITE - Markdown styles itself as you type; you always see and edit the real text. - Tables you can edit cell by cell, pictures, footnotes, code with syntax coloring, and typeset math. - Wiki links connect your notes; backlinks and mentions show what points back. PLAN - Tasks are plain checkboxes with small tags for due dates, follow-ups, priorities, and people. - The Agenda gathers every open task across your notes: past due, due today, up next. - Projects roll up their notes, tasks, and people onto a home page; a week note plans your days, and recurring tasks come back on schedule. FIND - Search every note by word, phrase, #tag, or project. - The Binder lists your files, tags, and saved views in one sidebar. SHARE (beta) - Live co-editing with end-to-end encryption: the server only ever stores scrambled bytes it cannot read. - Share an editing link or a read-only link; read-only is enforced cryptographically, not by good manners. - Collaboration keeps maturing release by release: hardened key handling, signed changes, and sessions that stay fast over time. EXPORT - Print or export paginated PDF, Word, and HTML that match what you see. SUBSCRIPTION Collab is an optional subscription: $9.99 a year, after a 14-day free trial. You need it only to host a live session or a hosted project. Joining one that someone shares with you is free, and always will be. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. It renews each year unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the term ends. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
