Checkboxes that check. • Headings, bold, italic, code, quotes, and tables, styled as you write • A formatting bar for common touches, plus full keyboard shortcuts • Pictures too: drag or paste one in, resize it by its corner, and it lives as a plain file beside the note YOUR FILES, ANYWHERE • Notes sync through your own iCloud Drive, included free • Open your notes folder in Finder or Files any time • Organize with folders, pins, and instant search • Find notes in Spotlight, and open them with Siri or Shortcuts • Nothing ever leaves your devices except to your own cloud SMOL ON PURPOSE • On the Mac, Smolpad lives in your menu bar, one hotkey away • Tear off a note into its own window when you want to stay a while • On iPhone and iPad, it opens fast and stays out of your way • Seven hand-picked fonts and a clean, quiet interface MAKE IT YOURS WITH SMOLPAD PRO • Unlimited notes (the free tier includes ten) • Dropbox, pCloud, or Google Drive sync, in a folder that belongs to you • Export to PDF, HTML, or rich text, and print • Lock Screen widgets on iPhone, and Smolpad on Apple Watch • Twenty-nine editor themes, from Tokyo Night to Catppuccin • Seventeen app icons and the full menu bar icon set Smolpad Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

MD Editor opens Markdown, HTML and text files from your device and saves them back in place — not into a copy you have to export later. WHY IT EXISTS On iOS, Files cannot open a .md file for editing, and there is no way to look at the HTML source of a page you saved. MD Editor fixes exactly that. EDITING - Inline preview: the line your cursor is on stays raw source, every other line is formatted - Syntax highlighting for Markdown, HTML and plain text - A keyboard row with the symbols these formats actually need - Autosave, with conflict detection if the file changed on disk - Files opened from your device are always free to edit and save, with no limit VAULT Documents you create inside the app live in a private vault. The free vault holds three documents. MD EDITOR PRO - Unlimited vault documents - Export to Markdown, HTML, text and PDF - Live HTML preview and render - Connect more than one folder - Syntax highlighting for Python, Swift, JavaScript and more - Mermaid diagram and LaTeX math preview (also in PDF) PRIVACY No account. No server. No analytics. Your files stay on your device. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://mdeditor-app.pages.dev/privacy
