Levity Markdown Notes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Levity is a fast Markdown editor for your own plain-text notes, based on a folder in iCloud Drive or on your device. No account, no proprietary database, no separate sync service to set up. Point Levity at a folder and it mirrors every Markdown file inside it, and keeps mirroring as they change. Built for speed on your phone and read-compatible with Obsidian vaults. Levity opens, scrolls, and searches instantly, even in a large vault. It's tuned for mobile from the first line of code. If you already keep an Obsidian vault, Levity reads it as-is: the same files, the same folders, the same frontmatter. Your notes are just text files. They live in your own iCloud Drive or on your device, sync through your own Apple account, and open in any other editor. A live, clean editor: โข Formatting appears as you type. The raw Markdown symbols stay out of your way, while your files stay pure Markdown on disk โข Headings, bold, italic, task lists, checkboxes, blockquotes, code blocks, and tables you can edit cell by cell โข [[Wiki-links]] between notes, with autocomplete โข Inline images โข A formatting bar, so you never have to hunt for a raw symbol Organize without a database: โข Tag your notes and filter by tag โข YAML frontmatter โ add any property you like (status, type, dates, lists) and build filtered views around it โข Folders, templates, archive, and trash โข Full-text search across every note, instantly Made yours: โข Seven themes, plus an automatic day / night mode that follows your surroundings โข Adjustable font, size, and spacing โข Designed for both iPhone and iPad Levity is focused and supports text, tags, and links; no graph view or plugins, just the fastest way to write and read Markdown on iOS, on top of files you already own. Free to start. One optional yearly subscription unlocks unlimited note creation and editing; reading your notes is never limited. Your privacy, by design: your notes stay in your own iCloud or device storage. Levity Premium is an auto-renewing subscription billed yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
