A fast, local-first editor for Markdown, code, and documents, on Windows & Mac
Powerful Features
Everything you need to write, edit, and organize, Markdown, code, and documents in one place.
Write in Markdown
A clean visual editor with a one-click switch to raw Markdown source. Tables, images, math, and diagrams included.
Built-in Code Editor
Syntax highlighting for Python, Rust, JavaScript, Go, SQL, JSON, YAML, and more, right alongside your notes.
Convert Documents
Open Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF, then turn them into editable Markdown, fully offline, no uploads.
Local-First & Private
Your work is plain files in folders you control. Open formats, and nothing leaves your device unless you ask it to.
Math & Diagrams
Beautiful KaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams render right inside your documents.
Fast & Native
Built on Rust, not a heavyweight Electron shell. Launches fast and stays smooth on large files.
Documents That Calculate
The .tal format adds live blocks to your writing: tables with real formulas, tasks with due dates and priorities, and dropdown fields. One portable file, no database behind it.
Edit PDFs, Not Just Read Them
Rotate, delete, duplicate, and insert pages, and fill in PDF forms, then save. All on your machine, nothing uploaded.
Serious Encryption
Lock files with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id key derivation. Set a recovery key in case you forget, and auto-lock when you step away.
Convert many documents to Markdown
Stop copying and pasting out of files you can barely edit. Open a document, hit convert, and keep working, all on your machine, with nothing uploaded.
One editor for prose and code
Draft in a distraction-free visual editor, or drop into raw source when you need precision.
