From your first line to a finished document in three simple steps.
Write or Open a File
Start typing, paste Markdown or open a UTF-8 .md file. No installation is needed.

Choose Your Writing View
Write side by side, focus on the source or read the finished result.
Split View
Edit on the left and review the result on the right. The preview follows the editor’s scroll position by default; scrolling the preview leaves the editor in place. You can turn this off in settings.
Editor
Give the source more room for writing and formatting. Useful on small screens or when working on a long draft.
Preview
Read the rendered document without the source pane. Use the outline to jump between headings, then return to editing.
Made for Everyday Writing
Create README files, take clear notes and refine your next draft.
README Files & Documentation
Write setup steps, code examples and tables, then check the rendered result before sharing your Markdown file.
Notes & Study Guides
Organize notes with headings, lists and task lists. Use the outline to move through a longer document.
Articles & AI Drafts
Paste a draft or AI response, clean up the formatting and save the edited Markdown for your own workflow.
