Raven - Markdown Notes
Beautiful plain .md files
$12.99
Open, write, done.
Raven launches in under a second. No sync spinner, no splash screen, no waiting. Your note is there before you've finished reaching for the keyboard.
Every note is a plain .md file in a folder you can see. Open it in Files, search it from the terminal, drop it into Claude. No database. No export step. Just your writing, exactly where you left it.
Built in SwiftUI for iPhone and Mac - not ported, not wrapped in a web view. You can feel the difference in the scrolling, the input response, the way it sits under your thumb.

Raven 1.36 makes visual notes more dependable across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Image attachments are more resilient when syncing and retrying edits.
- Code blocks, pasted images, and rich Markdown edits are less likely to feel like they were rolled back after insertion.
- Table editing and contextual controls are steadier in longer notes.
- Companion and sync reliability checks continue to cover the Mac helper and cross-device editing flows.
Raven still keeps your notes as Markdown files you control, now with a steadier editing path for screenshots, snippets, and visual context.
