01 / Overview

Let the tool leave room for ideas.

Writing and reading

CodeMirror 6, live preview, slash commands, search, focus, presentation, and navigation between linked documents.

Local workspace

Local explorer with folders, favorites, recents, archive, trash, history, assets, and an inspector.

Export your work

Export Markdown, HTML, PDF, and images; copy Markdown or HTML and download assets as ZIP.

02 / The problem

Writing, organizing, and reviewing should not mean jumping between tools.

03 / The approach

A connected workflow.

The interface connects editor, preview, and local library. A document graph links notes, while the command palette, inspector, and export tools stay within reach.

05 / Product decisions

Built with intention.

Editing and reading share the same workspace. Organization and inspection panels appear when needed, when needed. Documents stay in the browser, and the editor content remains free of background artwork.

06 / Stack & privacy

Behind the interface.
