Features
The notepad, grown up
Split & tile panes
Open a new pane, cascade, or tile everything horizontally or vertically. Compare two files or keep notes beside the thing you are editing.
Clipboard manager
Every text copy is captured. Search it, pin the keepers, click to insert. A pop-up flyout brings it to any app, and the side panel can auto-hide.
Live preview
Markdown renders as you type, with Mermaid diagrams drawn inline. Toggle the preview panel when you just want the text.
Find & replace
Find and replace across the current document, with zoom in and out for late-night reading.
Stays out of the way
Minimize to the tray on close, restore your session on launch, pick light or dark, and set your own font and size.
