Use cases
- Write and preview markdown documents with live rendering.
- Take quick notes or draft blog posts using a distraction‑free typewriter mode.
- Create README files and documentation with built‑in markdown syntax highlighting.
- Edit markdown files across multiple operating systems with a consistent UI.
- Export markdown to HTML or PDF for sharing and publishing.
When to choose
- You need a lightweight, cross‑platform markdown editor with a modern UI.
- You prefer a standalone desktop app rather than a browser‑based solution.
- You want built‑in typewriter mode and live preview without extra configuration.
When to avoid
- You require collaborative real‑time editing or cloud syncing.
