Why use a Markdown editor?
Faster than rich text
Markdown keeps your hands on the keyboard. Bold is **word**, a heading is # Title, and a link is [text](url). No mouse clicks, no menus, no formatting toolbars that break your flow.
Portable and universal
Markdown files work everywhere. GitHub README files, documentation sites, static site generators, CMSs like Hugo and Jekyll, and note-taking apps like Obsidian all use Markdown natively.
Private and offline
This editor runs entirely in your browser. Your content is never uploaded to a server. Auto-save keeps your work in localStorage, and you can export a .md file at any time.
