What This Tool Does

This is a complete writing environment for Markdown. Whether you're drafting a README, documenting an API, or composing a prompt for an AI assistant, the editor gives you a fast, distraction-free surface with a live preview and the formatting helpers you'd expect from a desktop app — all without installing anything.

Editor Features

  • Formatting toolbar for bold, italic, headings, lists, links, tables, and rules.
  • Live preview rendered as you type.
  • Find & replace across the whole document.
  • Undo / redo history with keyboard support.
  • Line numbers and live word, line, and character counts.
  • Fullscreen mode and one-click copy or .md download.

Edit, Preview & Split

Three view modes cover every workflow. Edit mode is a clean code surface for focused writing. Preview mode shows the fully rendered document. Split mode places source and preview side by side so you can watch your formatting take shape in real time.

Productivity Features

Insert a table template with a single click instead of typing pipes by hand. Wrap a selection in bold or italic without leaving the keyboard. Replace every occurrence of a term in one action. These small affordances add up to a noticeably faster editing experience for long documents.

Common Use Cases

  • READMEs & docs: draft and polish repository documentation.
  • Notes: keep structured Markdown notes with live preview.
  • Prompts: compose well-structured prompts for ChatGPT or Claude.
  • Quick edits: paste in an existing file, fix it, and export.

Tips

  • Use Split view to catch formatting mistakes as you write.
  • Download frequently — the editor doesn't auto-save to a server.
  • Pair with the Markdown Formatter to normalize a document before publishing.
