Search titles and supported document content; batch move, share, export, restore items from Trash, or let Trash clean up after 30 days. WORK NATURALLY WITH MARKDOWN Import and export Markdown while preserving supported headings, lists, tasks, tables, links, images, footnotes, math, and more. When content cannot be represented safely or comes from a newer format, Text+ protects the original instead of silently overwriting it. ICLOUD ACROSS DEVICES Use the same Text+ documents on iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud. Existing on-device content remains available to view, edit, and save offline, and synchronization continues when connectivity returns. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD iPhone provides a focused single-column experience. iPad adds a two-column workspace with keyboard, pointer, drag and drop, and Scribble support. THEMES, SHARING, AND EXPORT Choose from System, Colorful, Rainmist, and Parchment themes. Share by Mail, AirDrop, the system share sheet, or Files, and export as TXT, Markdown, PDF, RTF, or HTML. Text+ puts document safety first: when uncertain, it protects the original and clearly warns about possible formatting loss, so you can write and organize with confidence.
