About

Kihya Memo

Read full description

Kihya Memo is a lightweight, offline-first Markdown notepad. Write the source directly, use focused formatting tools, and switch to a beautiful native preview while every note remains a file you can keep. Markdown is the heart of the app. When needed, the same plain-text editor also opens safe UTF-8 text and source documents without converting them to a proprietary database. There is no Kihya account to create and no required Kihya memo server. Google Drive sync and remote server folders are optional. KEY FEATURES β€’ Switch instantly between Markdown source and native preview β€’ Toggle task checkboxes directly in preview β€’ Use focused Markdown tools for headings, lists, bold, italic, strike, code, links, attachments, and underline β€’ Convert pasted rich text into clean Markdown β€’ Create, edit, rename, move, and share HTML, JSON, XML, CSV, PHP, ASP, JavaScript, SQL, and other UTF-8 text or source files when needed β€’ Live syntax colors and line numbers without adding formatting to the file β€’ Static HTML/SVG, pretty JSON/XML, table, calendar, contact, and color-source previews β€’ Plain-text copy and paste for code; rich-text conversion only inside Markdown β€’ Import photos, PDFs, archives, and other files from Photos or Files β€’ Drag, rename, move, and safely remove nested folders in a dedicated manager β€’ Search file names and full note contents β€’ Find, Replace, and Replace All from the title menu, with case options, regex, and capture groups β€’ Choose Save, Discard Changes, or Keep Editing when leaving an unsaved note β€’ Move, rename, trash, or open past versions from the title menu β€’ Open Recently Deleted from the folder list to restore items to their original location or delete them permanently β€’ Optionally protect Recently Deleted with Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode β€’ Keep pre-save versions locally and load one into the editor without saving it immediately β€’ Recover the latest local edit draft after an unexpected app termination β€’ Optional marker-texture highlighting for bold and underlined preview text β€’ Preview local images and open clearly marked local-file links β€’ Open and share editable text, source documents, and stored files through the system Files app β€’ Optionally sync original files through a visible app folder in your own Google Drive β€’ Add SFTP, plain FTP, explicit FTPS, or implicit FTPS servers as remote folders, with local recovery drafts, history, conflict detection, and verified saves β€’ Export the visible folder tree as a ZIP without trash or private history β€’ Start writing instantly from a resizable Quick Note Home Screen widget β€’ See a sourced daily thought matched to morning, afternoon, evening, or night β€’ Continue writing beneath a thought and share it as a 4:5 image card β€’ Open a favorite document in full-screen reading mode from the Home Screen β€’ Five bundled Korean typefaces in addition to the system font β€’ Native phone navigation and an iPad three-pane or full-screen editor PRIVACY BY DESIGN β€’ No Kihya sign-up or required login β€’ No ads or cross-app tracking β€’ Google Drive connects only when you choose it; notes are never sent to a Kihya server β€’ Remote connections go directly from your device to the server you enter; credentials use device-only protected storage and remote contents, hosts, paths, and user names are excluded from analytics β€’ SFTP and FTPS are encrypted.
