Features

Live Syntax Highlighting

Headers, bold, italic, code blocks, links, blockquotes, task lists, and more — all highlighted as you type with language-aware code coloring.

Edit, Split & Preview Modes

Write with a pure editor, see your formatted output side by side with synchronized scrolling, or read in a clean preview.

Zen Mode

Block out everything. Zen mode centers your text, dims the interface, and lets you focus on nothing but writing.

Folder Organization

Create folders and subfolders with unlimited nesting. Drag and drop notes and folders to reorganize. Search across all your notes instantly.

Interactive Preview

Task checkboxes you can click. A table of contents that jumps to headings. Tables rendered cleanly. Links that open in your browser.

Table of Contents

An auto-generated outline panel that extracts all headings from your document. Click any heading to jump directly to it.

Export to Markdown & PDF

Export your notes as Markdown (.md) or PDF with one click. Share your writing in the format you need.

Light & Dark Themes

Switch between light and dark mode to match your environment or preference. Your choice is remembered across sessions.

Keyboard-First

Full keyboard shortcut support — create notes, format text, toggle themes, and enter zen mode without touching the mouse.

Privacy-First

Your notes are stored locally on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no servers. Your words stay yours.
