The Markdown editor
for people who don't write
Markdown.

You didn't ask for .md — your AI just gave you one. MDX opens it like a document so you can tweak a sentence, fix a heading, drop in a table, and save it back. No syntax to learn.

Untitled — MDX
AI

A field guide to writing without markup.

Markdown is great. Typing **asterisks** every time you want bold is not. MDX lets you format with a click — the file on disk is still plain markdown.

E = mc2  ·  ∂f∂x = limh→0 f(x+h) − f(x)h

Tables, code, math, diagrams — every one of them lives behind a button.

Works with .md files from

The whole app

Built like a desktop app, not a web tab.

File tree. Tabs. Word count. Status bar. Native menus. The kind of editor you can leave open for a year.

Three things, done well

A writing tool, not
a configuration project.

No code. Just write.

Bold, italic, headings, lists, math, tables, diagrams — every kind of formatting lives behind a button. Your file on disk stays plain markdown.

Bring your own key.

Ghost-writing suggestions powered by the model you choose. Plug in OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, or a local model — your key, your bill, your prompts.

Your cloud, your rules.

Files live in your iCloud, Drive, Dropbox or local folder. No MDX server in the middle, no account required, no telemetry.

Format library

Everything markdown can do.
None of the typing.

Looks like a document. Saves like a markdown file.

What you see is what gets committed. Open the same file in any other editor and it's still plain .md.

Your model.
Your key.
Your bill.

Tab-to-complete suggestions powered by the model you already pay for. We never proxy your prompts. We never see your text. The connection is between your editor and your provider — no middle-man server, no metering on top.

Privacy by default

No accounts.
No middle-man server.

MDX runs entirely on your machine. Files sync through whatever cloud you already trust — iCloud, Drive, Dropbox, or a folder on disk. We don't host your documents. We can't read them. We don't even know they exist.

No telemetry.
Zero analytics events. The app does not phone home.
No login.
Buy it once. It opens. That's the whole flow.
Open format.
Plain markdown on disk. Your files outlive the app.
Pricing

One app. One price.

No subscriptions. No tiers. Try it free for 14 days, then pay once and keep it.
