Markdown Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
A calm, keyboard-first Markdown notebook that also reads your handwriting. Write plain text, see it render, and keep every page on your iPhone. THE EDITOR Type in plain Markdown and switch to a rendered preview whenever you want to see how it reads. Headings, bold, italic and lists are handled inline, so you never leave the keyboard to format a line. A live counter shows words, characters and an estimated reading time as you write. FOCUS MODE One tap hides the chrome and leaves you with the page. Set a word goal on any note and a quiet progress ring fills as you get closer to it. Turn the goal off on notes that do not need one. HANDWRITING CAPTURE Open the ink canvas and write with Apple Pencil or your finger. Inkwell reads the handwriting on the device and drops the recognized text straight into your note, so the words become searchable like anything else you typed. The original drawing is saved with the note. HASHTAG ORGANIZATION Type #project or #recipes anywhere in a note and the tag is picked up automatically. You can also add tags by hand. The tag browser builds a tree of everything you have used, with a count beside each one, so a whole topic is one tap away. FIND IT AGAIN Search runs across titles, bodies and tags at once. Filter by one tag or several at the same time, then sort by most recent, most recently created or by title. Pin the notes you come back to and they stay at the top of the list. STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE There is no account to make and no sign-in screen. Your notes live in local storage on your iPhone and are never uploaded to a server. WHAT IT IS GOOD FOR Daily quick notes, meeting notes, a writing habit, a second brain of reference pages, code snippets, journaling, lecture notes and travel notebooks. Markdown Notes: Notepad Editor requires a Premium unlock to write in. Premium opens the whole notebook: unlimited notes, the plain-Markdown editor with rendered preview and live word, character and reading-time counts, focus mode with word goals, handwriting capture on the ink canvas with on-device text recognition, the hashtag tree and tag browser, search with multi-tag filtering and sorting, pinned notes, and the local-only vault with no account and no sign-in.
