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.
