The plain-text workspace for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Write your meeting notes, your class handout, your next chapter - rendered live as you type. Plan your week, track your projects; your files go anywhere.
Currently in limited beta, coming soon to the App StoreIt brings together what people love about the best Markdown apps (live‑preview editing, a vault of plain files you own, wiki links and backlinks, fast search) and adds what they usually don't:
Share an end-to-end encrypted link and co-edit in real time; everyone appears as a named, colored cursor, and collaborators can join from any browser. Up to 12 editors and 50 viewers; the server never sees your text.
When someone edits from a browser or another device, the tasks they touch say so: a small @from tag records their name and the time, and each note keeps a collaborators: line of everyone who has edited it. It's all plain text in your file — a record, not a lock — and your own edits never carry a stamp.
Writing on an iPad or iPhone with no hardware keyboard? MarkSchrift has its own: compact, so it keeps most of the screen, with a symbol on every key (a quick slide reaches it), the whole format bar built in, and touches like double-tap to capitalize and hold-space to glide the cursor.
Paste a passage from Logos as clean markdown, or paste a copied outline from any app, and turn a citation like “— Romans 8:1-4 ESV” into a link that opens Logos to the verse.
Built-in polytonic Greek and pointed Hebrew palettes; tap letters and diacritics to compose ἐν ἀρχῇ or בְּרֵאשִׁית.
Numbered, legal (I / A / 1 / a / i), decimal (1.1.1), or alphanumeric outlines. Move or indent a point with all its children in one keystroke; numbering maintains itself, even across paragraphs of discussion.
Tag tasks +project and give each project a home page: its notes, open work, finished work, and people, gathered live. A note per week and a Weekly Review carry what's open forward; nothing lives outside your Markdown.
Plan with @due, person tags, and priorities in plain text, write dates in your own words, and read the Agenda by status, project, person, or week; it follows your typing and never edits your document. One-tap sweeps tidy what's done; a Today view shows just what needs attention.
Drop a live scoring grid into a note: players as columns, rounds as rows, running totals and a winner's crown. Start one set up for Cribbage, Yahtzee, Catan, Hearts, and more, each with a how-to-play card. It's plain text, so a shared session keeps score together.
Write LaTeX between dollar signs — $E = mc^2$ — and it typesets in place as you write, no preview pane. Display blocks get centered equations, the file on disk stays plain text, and the same renderer drives shared links and your PDF and HTML exports, fully offline. A lone $ still just means money.
Write in markdown and see it rendered as you type, with no split panes and no preview toggle. The file stays plain, portable Markdown.
Every note in one window: open any with a click, join them with [[wiki links]] and backlinks, label with #tags, and search the full text of your whole vault (⇧⌘F), landing right on the matching line.
Paste, drag, or insert an image and it's copied into a vault-attachments folder in your vault, so a note and its pictures stay together even if you move the note. Size it from the caption (|400 for pixels, |50% for the column), and it embeds into your PDF, Word, and HTML exports.
A live outline of your headings in a side panel; click one to jump straight there. Drop [toc] into the page for an in-document table of contents, and export PDFs with a navigable bookmark sidebar and clickable links. Size headings per level so they sit naturally in the page.
Paginated PDFs with page numbers, page breaks, a navigable outline bookmark sidebar with clickable links, and your outline numbering and heading sizes rendered true to the editor, plus Word (.docx) and HTML.
Documents written anywhere open cleanly; tabs or any indent style convert automatically. Your files remain standard Markdown other apps understand.
Choose your editor font (including a handwriting face), accent color, reading width, numbering style, and toolbar position, and search the full guide in the in-app Help.
Store documents in iCloud Drive and they stay in sync across all your Apple devices. On the Mac or iPad, open documents as tabs in one window.
No accounts, no analytics, no data collection. Documents stay on your device; live sessions are end-to-end encrypted, you can end any share (and purge the server's copy) from My Shared Documents, and shared sessions follow a content policy.
