Synca · Sync Your Aha Moment
Read full descriptionHide full description
Synca is a lightweight app built for capturing ideas, collecting to-dos, and keeping them in sync across your devices. Sometimes you think of something important on your phone, only to find that it does not show up where you need it later. On some managed work devices, iCloud sync may be unavailable, which makes built-in note and reminder apps less practical for cross-device use. Synca is designed for exactly that kind of workflow. You can quickly save text or images on iPhone and have them synced to your Mac, so your work notes, personal reminders, and everyday ideas stay available when you need them. Key features: · Fast text capture · Image sending and viewing · Real-time sync between iPhone and Mac · Clear completed items while keeping history · Simple sign-in with Sign in with Apple · Great for work ideas, quick to-dos, personal notes, and cross-context capture Why Synca: · Keeps your capture workflow available even when iCloud sync is not · Cleaner and more focused than sending messages to yourself · Lighter than a traditional notes app for quick capture · Helps you save ideas instantly before they disappear · Web access support: https://synca.haerth.cn/ Synca makes it easier to capture first, organize later. · Privacy Policy: https://synca.haerth.cn/en/privacy-policy · Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The markdown editor that respects your output. Markd.ly is a native Markdown editor for iPhone and iPad with live preview, built for people who write in plain .md and ship a real deliverable. Open a file, write, and watch the preview render as you type. The same Bravely Account unlocks Markd.ly on Mac, Windows, and Linux too, so the document you start on your phone is waiting on your desktop. WRITE & EDIT • Native SwiftUI editor with adjustable font size and syntax highlighting • Live preview with multiple themes, side by side • Mermaid diagrams render right inside the preview • KaTeX math, inline and block • Open .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, and .mkdn files from anywhere DOCUMENT INTEGRATION • Open files from the Files app and from any Markdown share • Save back to iCloud Drive, Files, or any document provider • Multi-document tabs to switch between drafts • Recent files for one-tap return FOLDER-BASED, NO LOCK-IN Your files stay plain .md on disk — no vault, no proprietary format, nothing to migrate out of later. Git-friendly, and the same files open everywhere else you use Markd.ly. WHAT MARKD.LY IS FOR Blog posts. README files. Documentation. Technical writing. Markd.ly is for writing that lives in markdown but leaves the app as something polished — not a note-graph or a second brain. If you need wikilinks and a graph, use a vault tool. If you want documents that look great when you ship them, this is the editor. ONE PURCHASE, EVERY PLATFORM Markd.ly is a tool, not a service. A single one-time purchase unlocks the complete app on every platform — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux — carried by your Bravely Account. Buy it once on any platform and the rest unlock automatically, with no per-feature paywalls. The deeper export pipeline — Pandoc to DOCX, EPUB, LaTeX, and slides, a custom CSS editor, a snippet library, vim mode, encrypted documents, the command-line tool, and an MCP server for AI agents — lives on the desktop builds, included in the same one purchase. SIGN IN Signing in is free. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — the same sign-in works on every Markd.ly app you install. Try it free, then a single one-time purchase unlocks everything. Already bought Markd.ly on another platform? Sign in to restore it here at no extra charge.
