Documents

Creating and opening

Press O and click the canvas — a document card appears (title + live word count) and the editor opens. Double-click any document card to continue writing. Dropping an existing .md file onto the canvas creates an editable document from it.

The editor

A distraction-free page with a full toolbar:

• Paragraph styles — Text, Heading 1–3 — plus adjustable font size.
• Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough (Cmd/Ctrl+B/I/U).
• Bullet lists, numbered lists, quotes — Markdown shortcuts work too: -, 1. at a line start; --- becomes a divider.
• Text color and five highlight colors — for marking up drafts and review passes.
• Links — select text and click the link button; a single click on a link opens it, and select-plus-link-button edits it.
• Its own undo/redo, independent of the canvas, plus a live word count.

Pasting Markdown just works — it converts to formatted text on the way in, and exports cleanly on the way out.

Documents are Markdown files

With a connected folder, every document is written to disk as a plain .md file in the folder where it lives on the canvas. Readable in any editor, versionable, greppable, AI-agent-friendly — and there’s an explicit Export as Markdown button in the editor for one-off copies. (Remember the mirror is one-way: edit documents in the app. Why.)

On iPhone and iPad

Documents open in a comfortable reading view first — tap to start editing. A ✓ button confirms and dismisses the keyboard, and the toolbar’s style, size and color pickers are custom-built so the keyboard never bounces while you format.
