SoloMD

SoloMD is a calm, fast Markdown editor for iPhone and iPad. Open the app and you are writing — no account, no sign-up, no subscription.

Your notes are plain .md and .txt files. Keep them in SoloMD's folder in the Files app, or open a folder you already use, and edit the files right where they are. Any editor on any device can read them, today and in ten years.

WRITING FIRST

- Live editing: Markdown marks step aside once the cursor leaves the line, so you see the document, not the syntax.
- Real typography: big headings, true bold, monospaced code, comfortable line length.
- Focus mode dims everything but the paragraph you are in; typewriter mode keeps your line at eye level.
- A formatting bubble appears over selected text; a keyboard bar puts headings, lists, links and code one tap away.
- Find and replace with match case, whole word and regular expressions.
- Light and dark themes that follow the system.

ON IPHONE

- A notes home screen, search and a new-note button within thumb's reach.
- Full-screen editor with a simple navigation bar.

ON IPAD

- Sidebar with your folders and notes, tabs, and an outline of the current document.
- Split view and Slide Over friendly; works with hardware keyboards and ⌘ shortcuts.

MARKDOWN THAT GOES FURTHER

- KaTeX math, inline and display.
- Mermaid flowcharts, sequence diagrams and Gantt charts.
- Tables, task lists with tappable checkboxes, footnotes, front matter, highlights.
- Syntax highlighting for 13+ languages.
- Tap an image or diagram to view it full screen with pinch-zoom.
- Fold headings to see the shape of a long document.

FOR CHINESE WRITERS

- Simplified ↔ Traditional conversion, pinyin, and CJK-aware word counts.
- Chinese proofreading for half-width punctuation and common slips.
- Opens UTF-8, UTF-16, GBK and Big5 files correctly.

EXPORT AND SHARE

- PDF with math and diagrams rendered.
- Word (.docx) with tables kept.
- HTML, or copy as HTML, plain text or Markdown.
