Markup vs Bamboo Lite

Markup reads and edits your Markdown beautifully — and it works with the folder of notes you already have, on your iPhone and iPad. POINT IT AT YOUR FOLDER — OR A GITHUB REPO • Open any folder of .md files from iCloud Drive or Files — the same vault you use on your Mac. Nothing to import, no lock-in. • Open a GitHub repo as a vault and read the whole thing offline. • Open several vaults and switch between them. READ LIKE A PAGE • High-fidelity rendering: syntax-highlighted code, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, tables, task lists, and GitHub-style callouts. • Light / Dark / Sepia themes, adjustable text size and width, Dynamic Type. • Wikilinks, backlinks with context, a per-document outline, and tags. FIND ANYTHING • Full-text search with tag: and path: filters; fuzzy Quick Open. EDIT WITH EASE • A focused Markdown editor with smart lists, auto-closing brackets, table formatting, and inline [[wikilink]] and #tag autocomplete. • Insert images straight into your vault. Export or share as PDF, HTML, or Markdown. iPAD • Open documents in tabs; edit with a live rendered preview beside the source. • Hardware-keyboard shortcuts. HTML, TOO • Open and read .html and web bundles, with scripts off by default for safety. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account required, no telemetry, no tracking. Your notes stay on your device and your iCloud. Signing in to GitHub is optional and only used to fetch the files you ask for. English and 简体中文, switchable in-app.

Bamboo (简帛) is a beautifully restrained, fully offline reader built for one thing: making long-form writing readable again. That tutorial you bookmarked. The newsletter you've been meaning to finish. The lecture notes shared in a group chat. The README that scrolls forever. Open them in the Files app and they show up as broken plain text or mangled code blocks. Bamboo turns them into ink on rice paper — measured line height, restrained type, IDE-grade code highlighting, generous white space. WHO IT'S FOR • Read-later collectors who actually want to read it later • Bloggers and newsletter writers • Students and researchers reading lecture notes & papers • Developers reading READMEs and technical blogs • Anyone who wants to finish a good article without distraction REFINED TYPOGRAPHY • Full GFM: headings, tables, task lists, footnotes, blockquotes • Prism.js highlighting for 20+ languages, one-tap copy • Built-in humanist fonts (LXGW WenKai), live font-size control OPEN FROM ANYWHERE • .md / .html from WeChat, Telegram, Mail, Files — tap "Open with..." → done • Or open files directly from the Files app • Share Extension brings Bamboo into every share sheet ONE PIECE, MANY USES • Export as a long image — share to social with watermark • Export as PDF with auto-generated outline • Three curated themes: White Silk, Dark Bamboo, Cyan Reed ON YOUR DESK • Read documents auto-land on the "Bookshelf" • Star to keep favorites within reach • "Timeline" walks back through your reading journey PURE PRIVACY • No accounts. No cache. No cloud servers. • 100% local parsing & rendering, fully offline • No analytics SDK, no ads, no tracking For the written word — Bamboo.
