About

MiruMado Focus Browser

Read full description

MiruMado is a privacy-focused in-app browser that lets you keep only the part of a web page you need visible in a small focus window. It is useful for checking markets, weather, news headlines, sports scores, delivery pages, reservations, and other web information without keeping the whole page visually prominent. You can browse normally, create a focus window, hide surrounding areas with dimming or blackout, and reopen saved pages from quick links or favorites. Browser tools such as translation, desktop site mode, text size adjustment, display repair, and ad blocking help make pages easier to view. Saved URLs, focus windows, favorites, and settings stay on your device. MiruMado does not require an account, does not include an advertising SDK, does not send browsing history to an external server, and does not scrape or collect web page contents.

A minimalist cross-platform Markdown note-taking app designed to streamline your workflow and sync seamlessly across your devices, no server required. Stay organised, stay focused and keep your notes private. FEATURES • Local Sync. Paired devices automatically synchronise notes via your local network, no server or account is required. If a conflict occurs, both versions are kept and the older file is moved to the trash with a [conflicted] label. • Plain Markdown files. Each note is saved as a standard Markdown .md file in regular folders. Your data belongs entirely to you, meaning you can back it up, use other editors, or track it with Git. • Raw Markdown styling. Beautiful raw Markdown rendering of headings, bold text, italic text, lists, horizontal lines, quotes, code and code blocks, links, and tables. • Sidebar. Easily organise your notes. You can drag and drop folders, select multiple files at once, and rename items. Deleted notes can be recovered until the trash is manually emptied. • Command Palette & Search. Navigate the app instantly using a central command palette. Run full-text searches across your open note or across all of them. • Customisation & Settings. Choose from four beautiful themes and start customising your experience. All your configurations are saved in a settings.toml file, making them easy to back up and export. • Intuitive Touch Gestures. Navigate fluidly on mobile devices. Swipe from the left to open the sidebar, from the right to access the command palette, press and hold to open context menus and tap with three fingers in the editor for a context-menu.
