Welcome to Zyplus Editor
The open-source markdown editor.
Made with love by Fankrits.
What it does
- •Rich text and raw markdown in the same file
- •Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX math, rendered inline
- •Files stay as
.mdon your disk
No account, no sync, no lock-in.
Everything a markdown file can be
Two ways to write
Rich text, or the raw markdown
Write in a WYSIWYG editor when you want the document to look like the document, and drop to plain markdown when you want to see the syntax. It is one file either way — ⌘E switches, nothing converts.
- Milkdown for rich text, CodeMirror for plain
- Per-tab, so two documents can be in different modes
Ships today, with one caveat.
- •Faster startup
Your folders
A workspace, not a database
Point Zyplus at the folders you already keep notes in. The file tree is those folders, the tabs are those files, and your session comes back the way you left it.
- Add as many project folders as you like
- Drag to reorder tabs; unsaved work is marked, never silently dropped
No lock-in
Everything leaves as easily as it arrived
Your notes are already plain .md files on disk, so there is nothing to export in the usual sense. When you do need a copy, it is one menu away.
- Export as .md, or straight to PDF with ⌘P
- Copy the document markdown or its path in one keystroke
Make it yours
Themes for the chrome and the page
Light and dark, plus Catppuccin and Tokyo Night palettes. The theme covers the editor surface you write on, not just the window around it.
- Follows the system theme by default
- Diagrams and code blocks re-color with it
Keyboard first
Every command has a key. Press ⌘/ in the app for the full sheet.
