A cross-platform desktop editor for people who live in Markdown: Monaco editing, live preview, a dedicated Mermaid Studio, workspaces, export to HTML/PDF/DOCX/slides, and a command palette for everything.
Monaco editor with syntax highlighting inside Mermaid fences, multi-cursor, snippets, and list continuation. Live preview uses a sanitized markdown-it pipeline with callouts, task lists, footnotes, TOC, six preview themes, and scroll sync in split view.
Every ```mermaid fence renders independently. Broken diagrams show an error card, not a broken page. Mermaid Studio adds templates, validation, zoom/pan, SVG/PNG export, and one-click insert into your document.
Folder tree with .gitignore awareness, search, file operations, Git status, and session restore.
HTML with inlined diagram SVGs, PDF, DOCX, plain text, cleaned Markdown, Reveal.js slides, and batch diagram export.
Linter, link checker, asset manager, frontmatter editor, autosave, and crash recovery.
Every action in menus, toolbar, and shortcuts — searchable from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Light, dark, and system. Native title bar follows the app theme.
