Supports self-contained .html and .htm files with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and all required data embedded in one file. READ AND EDIT MARKDOWN — FREE Preview headings, tables, and code. Edit your notes and save changes to the original Markdown file. Use the outline and document search to find the section you need.

Viewing and interacting with HTML requires Pro. LISTEN TO YOUR NOTES Read Markdown aloud while the app is in the foreground for free. Pro adds background playback, including playback while your screen is locked. KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS WITH THE DOCUMENT Record questions and ideas in document memos without changing the original text. Memos for up to 3 documents are free; Pro removes the limit. Pro also lets you export Markdown as PDF or HTML to share your notes.

HTML source editing and persistent saving of interactive values are not supported. Values reset when you reopen the file. NOTE.MD PRO Choose monthly, annual, or lifetime access.
