Wander is a markdown editor that respects your files. Your notes stay plain markdown in folders you control — no account, no lock-in, no cloud required. What you see is what lands on disk, byte for byte. Write in a clean WYSIWYG editor — bold looks bold, headings look like headings — while the file on disk stays tidy markdown with clean diffs. Images render in place too, so a note with photos reads like a page, not a preview pane. Open any folder of markdown and start writing; Wander reads and writes standard files, so nothing you open is trapped in the app. • Plain markdown, in folders you own • WYSIWYG editing, clean files on disk • Wikilinks, tables, code blocks, task lists, footnotes • Images inline — photos, galleries and captions render right in the note, sized with plain markdown • Fast and native for iPhone and iPad — works fully offline, no account • Your notes never leave your device unless you move them
