What it does

An editor that keeps up with you

The editor from the TypeFire app, free in your browser.

The File menu's Download submenu, saving the document as Markdown, a web page or a PDF

  1. Formatting as you type

    Bold, headings, lists and links take shape while you write, so the page always reads like the finished document.

  2. Paste from anywhere

    Rich text copied from a web page, an email or a doc arrives as clean Markdown, with its headings, links and lists kept.

  3. Tables without the pipes

    Add rows and columns with a click, drag them by their handles, and type straight into the cells.

  4. Find your way around

    Find and replace, an outline of your headings, and a live word and character count.

  5. Room to think

    Full screen and focus mode clear the page down to your words. Pick Light, Dark or Dim from the View menu.
