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.
