Write Markdown before you download the app

Four tools that run entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server. The editor is a browser demo; rendering in the app may differ in detail. Everything here is a simplified simulation, not a view of the app itself. The buttons for saving, HTML and printing exist only in the demo.

README.md

Try the 18 commands

Write in the editor, select text and use the toolbar. The preview follows instantly.

  • Change something in the editor
  • Make a word bold (select it, then B)
  • Insert a table from the toolbar
  • Insert a task list from the toolbar
  • Switch to the HTML view
Done! That is how quick Markdown with live preview is.

Tip: As in the Mac app, Enter in a list continues the list, Cmd/Ctrl+B makes text bold, Cmd/Ctrl+I italic. Your input stays in the browser.

Features

What OneTwo Markdown can do

A calm, fast editor that does the right thing on every device.

A live preview that keeps up

Your Markdown text on one side, the finished layout right next to it. On iPad you drag the divider wherever you need the space. On iPhone one tap switches between editor and preview, where you can also switch to the HTML source. Line numbers and a column ruler help in the editor.

18 Markdown commands

Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, lists, task lists, quote, code, horizontal rule, link and image, all in one toolbar.

Tables and emoji

The table builder sets rows and columns, the emoji picker sits right in the editor. “Neutralize Markdown” protects special characters such as * and _ in the selected text with a backslash so they format nothing.

Find and replace

Find and replace in a document, plus full-text search across the names and content of all documents.

Real .md files

Open existing .md files and save them right back where they came from. Your README stays your README.

Print, PDF, share

Print from the rendered preview, save as PDF from the print dialog or share as a Markdown file. On the Mac you can also export as Markdown, HTML or PDF.

A tidy library

Color tags, a filter bar and pinned documents, several documents open in tabs. Tags and filters are the same on all devices.

Private stays private

Lock individual documents with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode, on the Mac with Touch ID or password. Locked documents show no content, no preview and no content matches in search.

Widgets and good looks

Widgets on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Nine color themes on iPhone and iPad, light and dark, plus Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, English and German.

Real files

Your files stay your files

The app has two ways of working: the library, which syncs through iCloud, and file mode. In file mode you edit a Markdown file where it is stored, without copying it into the library. “Import” creates a copy in the library, “Export” writes a copy as a file.

~/Projects/my-app/README.md

Open

Open .md and .markdown files from the Files app. On the Mac by double-click, “Open With” or drag & drop.

Write

You edit the file with a live preview. The README in your project folder stays the README in your project folder.

Write back

Save writes straight back to the connected file. On the Mac there is also “Save As” and “Save All”. If another program changes the file, the app silently reloads it. Only with unsaved changes does it ask which version should win.

iCloud sync

iCloud on your terms

Documents, color tags and filters stay the same on all devices through your private iCloud: start the draft on the train on your iPhone, finish it on the Mac in the evening. If another device changed a document you are editing, the app reports the conflict and you decide. A simplified simulation:

Changed on iPhone
# Release Notes 1.2
New: Live preview
Changed on Mac
# Release Notes 1.2 (final)
New: Live preview and export

Switch per device

You turn iCloud sync on or off per device (Settings › iCloud). Without iCloud the app works fully locally.

Status at a glance

The app shows what was synced, what is still pending and whether there are conflicts or errors. At the press of a button it restarts the sync.

Asked once

On first launch the app asks once whether to use iCloud.

Privacy

Your writing is yours

No account, no ads, no tracking

The app collects no data.

No AI

No AI reading your texts and no connections to third-party servers.

Only your iCloud

Sync runs only through your own iCloud. Without iCloud everything works the same, just on one device.

Everything else is in the privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

?What is the app called exactly?

OneTwo Markdown. On the Home Screen, in the Dock and in widgets it appears in the short form “12 Markdown” (One = 1, Two = 2).

?Who is the app for?

For anyone who writes with structure: README files and release notes, team documentation, blog posts, meeting minutes, study notes or well organized notes.

?Do I need an account or AI?

No. There is no account, no ads, no tracking and no AI reading your texts. The app itself connects to no server other than your private iCloud.

?Can I edit existing .md files?

Yes. You open .md and .markdown files directly and save them back where they came from. If another program changes the file, the app silently reloads it; only with unsaved changes does it ask which version should win.

?Does the app work without iCloud?

Yes. Without iCloud or with sync turned off the app works fully locally. You turn sync on or off per device.

?What happens with a sync conflict?

If another device changed a document you are editing, the app reports an iCloud conflict and names the device. You choose whether your local version stays or the cloud version is restored. Affected documents are listed in Settings under iCloud.

?How does the Mac app differ from iPhone and iPad?

The Mac has an editor of its own with syntax highlighting, line commands, a synchronized preview and multiple windows. Export as HTML and PDF is on the Mac. On iPhone and iPad you print from the preview and save as PDF from the print dialog.

?Can I protect individual documents?

Yes. You lock individual documents with Face ID, Touch ID or device passcode, on the Mac with Touch ID or password. Locked documents show no content, no preview and no content matches in search.

?How much does the app cost?

A one-time €2.99, one purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac. There is no subscription and there are no in-app purchases. The price in the App Store at launch applies.
