Richdown vs ZooMark

Plain Markdown, beautiful the moment you type it. Richdown is a focused Markdown editor that never makes you switch between "writing" and "reading." Headings, tables, code, quotes, task lists, even Mermaid diagrams render inline as you go — so you stay in the flow and watch the finished page take shape. And Richdown doesn't lock your files inside someone else's cloud. Open folders in iCloud Drive or on your device — or work straight in your own GitHub repositories. — Write — • Inline rich preview that keeps up with your typing • Tables, code blocks, quotes, task lists, Mermaid diagrams and images • Outline view and in-file search to navigate long documents • A Markdown toolbar above the keyboard for quick formatting — Keep — • Open iCloud Drive or on-device folders and edit in place • Browse subfolders; create, rename and delete files; sort by name or date • Pull to refresh. Files are stored on your device (iCloud / local) — nothing is uploaded to our servers — Connect (GitHub, optional) — • Open your own GitHub repositories, edit, and commit in one go • Browse commit history, diff a past version, and restore it • Switch and create branches; open pull requests • Traffic goes straight from your device to GitHub; your access token is kept only in the iOS Keychain Note: commit, history, diff and restore are GitHub-repository features (plain folders support editing and saving). — iPad — • A true two-pane layout: file list on the left, preview on the right Fast, private, and honest about your files.

ZooMark is a Markdown notes app for macOS. As you type, formatting appears instantly, while your text stays clean and portable. Write lightly and clearly in Markdown — no fussy formatting required. ■ Features · Hybrid Markdown editor — bold, italic, headers, lists, to-dos, and code render like formatting as you type, while the source stays plain Markdown text. · Split preview — Editor / Split / Preview modes. In Split, edit on the left and watch the rendered document (with GFM tables and links) on the right at the same time. · Folders — organize notes like Apple Notes; drag to reorder and nest them, and move multiple notes into a folder at once. · Hashtags & internal links — gather notes with #tags, and connect them with [[Title]] wiki links. · Powerful search — find notes fast with tag:, title:, @todo, and "exact phrase" operators. · Themes — light and dark themes (Honey Bear, Solar Cream, Panda, Tasmanian Devil Black, and more), set inside the app independent of the system appearance. · Note lock — hide sensitive notes behind Touch ID or a password. · Import · Export · Share — import .md files; save notes as Markdown, HTML, TXT, or PDF, or share them to other apps. · iCloud sync & backup — when signed in to iCloud, all folders and notes sync and back up across your devices automatically.
