every markdown file

Built for people who live in plain text
A reader first, with the editor and converter you end up wishing every markdown app had.
A reading view that respects markdown
Tables, syntax-highlighted code, task lists, blockquotes, a jump-to table of contents, and per-document scroll memory. Accent heading markers included.
Folder discovery, zero broad permissions
Point it at a folder and it quietly indexes every .md, .mdx and .markdown file via the Storage Access Framework. New files get flagged on the next scan.
Distraction-free editor
Markdown shortcuts, live word count, autosave every two seconds. Drafts live alongside your files and open instantly.
Share as a real .md file
One tap sends any document to mail, drive, or your favorite AI assistant as a genuine markdown attachment — no copy-paste mangling.
Ten ways to read
The terminal-dark Lexer signature, plus nine more — each with four text sizes, three line spacings, and your choice of body font.
Almost anything → clean markdown
Documents, data, ebooks, notebooks — even photos of text, via fully on-device OCR in Latin, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Devanagari scripts. Nothing leaves your phone.
Private by design
Not a feature toggle — the default state of the app.
Free to read. Pro to power through.
Reading, discovery, themes and sharing are free forever. Pro removes the conversion, document and tag limits.
