Typodown

An open source markdown editor inspired by Typora, for the browser, VSCode, desktop and phone.

---

There is no preview pane: markdown is rendered directly in the text you are typing. The raw #, ** or backticks only show up on the construct your caret is sitting on.

Try it on the website, the whole page is one editable markdown document.

Features

• Edit rendered markdown directly, with the raw syntax revealed under the cursor.
• GitHub Flavored Markdown: GFM alerts (> [!NOTE]), task lists, editable tables, images, links, YAML front matter and raw HTML.
• LaTeX maths with KaTeX ($...$ and $$...$$) and Mermaid diagrams.
• The usual shortcuts: Ctrl/⌘+B bold, Ctrl/⌘+I italic, Ctrl/⌘+K link, Tab / ⇧+Tab indent, Ctrl/⌘+Z undo / redo.
• Built on CodeMirror 6, so editing, selection, undo, IME and viewport virtualisation come from a well tested editor. The rendering is only a decoration layer on top of it.
• No telemetry, no remote server, your files stay where you put them.
