Quick tips

This is a simple writing area on the page. You type on the left in plain text, and the right side shows you a polished version with headings, lists, and bold text as you go. What you write stays on this phone or computer until you copy it or save a PDF—nothing is sent away to be stored for you.

  • Type on the left: the formatted preview updates on the right as you write.
  • Reset returns the starting guide text. If you changed anything, your browser will ask you to confirm.
  • Copy puts all of your Markdown into the clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere.
  • Export PDF downloads a PDF of the preview (styled for printing).
  • Sync scroll keeps the preview scrolled in step when you scroll the editor.
  • Dark mode switches the editor and preview to a dark theme.
  • Drag the narrow bar between the columns to resize them. Double-click that bar to split them evenly again.
  • Your text is saved only in this browser on this device—not on the website’s server. Use Copy or Export PDF if you need a backup or to move your notes.
