Markdown Editor

Read full description

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

Snooze, scroll, late. Dawnlock breaks the loop. Dawnlock is a real alarm clock. It rings through Silent mode and Focus, on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch, even when the app is closed. To turn it off, you do a short wake-up mission. Until you do, your most distracting apps stay locked. WAKE-UP MISSIONS • Math: solve a few problems (easy, medium or hard) • Type it out: type a line exactly. Hard to fake half-asleep. • Scan a code: register your toothpaste or coffee, then walk over and scan it • Shake: shake your phone until the bar fills • Walk: get up and take real steps • Photo: snap the same spot you picked, like the bathroom sink • Memory: remember the tiles that lit up NO SLEEPING THROUGH IT • Swipe the alarm away, or hit the volume or power button, and it rings again, louder each time • Stop never turns it off: it rings again a minute later until you do the mission (add a few snoozes if you want them) • Wake-up check: a few minutes after your mission, confirm you're still up • Can't do a mission right now? Switch to a backup. You're never stuck. APPS STAY LOCKED TILL YOU'RE UP Pick the apps you scroll in bed. They lock at bedtime or when the alarm rings, and unlock when your mission is done. It always unlocks after your safety window, no matter what. NEVER MISS A MEETING • Real alarms before your calls, with a Join button for Zoom, Meet and Teams • Smart wake: rings earlier when your first meeting is early AND • Quick naps with a Lock Screen countdown • Gentle sounds that build up, and loud ones for heavy sleepers • Streaks and insights on how fast you really get up • Widgets, and Siri: "Start a nap in Dawnlock" • Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking. Your alarms, calendar and photos never leave your iPhone. Dawnlock is free to download, and using it needs Dawnlock Pro: unlimited alarms and naps, all seven missions, the app lock every morning with Strict mode, the wake-up check, meeting alarms, smart wake and full history. Pro is $3.99 a month or $19.99 a year (the yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial), and renews automatically until cancelled in Settings.
