Everything you need to write well

Six powerful feature sets designed to keep you in flow — from the first keystroke to the final export.

Split-Pane Architecture

Resizable editor and preview panels side-by-side with synchronized scrolling and full-screen focus mode. Configure your layout exactly how you think.

Syntax Highlighting

Theme-customizable highlighting with line numbers, current line indicator, and code folding for navigating large documents with ease.

👁

Live Preview

Real-time rendering via react-markdown. One smart button pastes clipboard content into the editor and copies the rendered preview back out.

📐

Math & Diagrams

KaTeX renders beautiful equations inline. Mermaid support draws flowcharts and sequence diagrams directly from fenced code blocks.

💾

Document Management

Auto-save to local storage, full undo/redo history, and export to HTML, PDF, or formatted text — including the live preview panel.

Accessibility & UX

ARIA-compatible, screen-reader friendly, high contrast mode, and a full keyboard shortcuts overlay. Writing tools for everyone.

Power User Edition

Built for how you actually write

Vim and Emacs keybindings sit alongside a customizable plugin architecture. Auto-completion anticipates markdown patterns before you type them.

Switch effortlessly between side-by-side, stacked, and preview-only layouts. Everything adapts — whether you’re drafting a quick note or managing a 10,000-line epic.

Productivity that compounds

Small features with outsized payoffs — the kind you’ll notice every session.

📊

Table Editing Assistant

Visual column management makes creating and reformatting markdown tables effortless — no more counting pipes by hand.

🖼

Image Paste & Drag-Drop

Paste or drop images directly into the editor with automatic optimization and inline reference insertion.

🔗

Link Preview on Hover

Hover over any link to see a rich metadata preview — title, description, and favicon — without leaving the editor.

📖

Word Count & Reading Time

Live word count and estimated reading time keep you anchored to your goal, whether it’s a tweet or a white paper.

Technical Implementation

Performance first. Always.

Optimized for documents with 10,000+ lines. The editor stays snappy because rendering and parsing happen off the critical path.

A TypeScript-first codebase with typed interfaces for every configuration surface, plus a plugin architecture that lets you extend the editor exactly how you need.
