[KEY FEATURES]
More than a simple text editor — Markdot renders your Markdown beautifully.
● Open and preview .md files instantly
Open .md files received through email, messaging apps, or other apps and view them as clean, formatted documents in Markdot.
● Rich Markdown rendering
Render code blocks, tables, Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX equations, chemical formulas, GFM, and more.
● Switch instantly between preview and editing
Switch to editing mode without losing your place in the document. In landscape mode, Split View displays the Markdown source and preview side by side with synchronized scrolling.
● Automatic table of contents and document search
Automatically generate a table of contents based on document headings. Search within the viewer or editor to quickly find information in long AI-generated documents and technical documentation.
● Browse documents with a file tree
View multiple Markdown files in a folder using the file tree. Navigate between folders and open relative links to browse connected project documents, including GitHub repositories and project READMEs
● Continue working with AI
After editing a document, send it to an installed AI app with Agent Connection. Continue working with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other supported AI apps.
● Export to HTML or PDF
Export finished Markdown documents to HTML or PDF. Customize the page size, margins, fonts, and other PDF settings for reports, assignments, and shared documents.
● Automatically detect external changes
Changes made to a file in another app are automatically reflected in Markdot. If you have unsaved edits, Markdot prevents external changes from overwriting your work.
