Zeti Editor is a Markdown editor that gets out of your way – a calm, focused canvas for writing, thinking, and note-taking Your notes are plain .md files in a folder you choose. No proprietary format, no account, no lock-in. Keep that folder locally or in iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or a git repo – how you sync is up to you, and your writing stays readable anywhere, on any device, for good WHAT YOU GET - Live Markdown: headings, bold, italics, lists, tasks, quotes, code, tables, links, and images render as you write. Inline formatting marks fade from view so your words stay front and center, and the line you're editing always shows the raw Markdown - Source mode: switch to plain raw Markdown any time with a single shortcut - Tasks you can tick: tap a checkbox to mark a to-do done, right inside your note - Actions & command palette: transform your text in a keystroke – open a command palette to run built-in text actions, write your own in JavaScript, or use on-device AI actions on supported hardware. Everything runs locally, with no network. For more information, visit: https://ronz.dev/zeti/docs/ - Shortcuts, Siri & Spotlight: create, open, append to, and search your notes from the Shortcuts app, Siri, and Spotlight - Export & share: turn any note into a PDF, or share your Markdown files anywhere – all through the native share sheet - Beyond Markdown: open and edit plain text, HTML, and CSS files too, with syntax highlighting - Linked notes: connect ideas with [[wiki links]] and #tags, with autocomplete as you type. Every link works both ways – open any note to see the notes that link back to it - Constellation: see your notes as a connected map, built from your links and shared tags. Tap a note to open it, search to highlight, and pinch to zoom - On-device intelligence: notes are summarized and tagged automatically using Apple Intelligence – privately, on your device, on supported hardware - Multiple windows: open several windows at once, each on its own folder, and work across projects side by side - Fast search across note titles and full content - Document outline to jump between headings in long files - Pin important notes to the top, and see details like created and modified dates at a glance - Live word count and reading-time estimate - Light and dark themes, adjustable text size, optional line numbers, and a quietly beautiful design built with Apple's latest materials - A short set of example notes to get you started – keep them, or remove them and reload them from Settings any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device.
