Diple is a focused writing and document organization tool for Markdown notes, plain text jottings, journals, reports, and drafts. Capture ideas with Speech to Text, revisit edits with Version History, and export documents to Word or PDF to share or keep writing.
Designed for Writing
• Switch between Source, Focus, and Live modes — Markdown users can type raw syntax directly, while everyone else gets a WYSIWYG experience just like a regular document app
• Use headings, bold, italics, inline code, quotes, lists, and to-do lists
• Insert links, dividers, tables, image references, and language-tagged code blocks
• Undo, redo, document outline, and code syntax highlighting are all supported
Plain Text, Too
• Create .txt documents and write in a lightweight editor with no syntax markers and no formatting tools
• Renaming, find and replace, and sharing are all still there
Speak Your Ideas
• Use Speech to Text to write directly in Markdown or plain text documents
• Choose a recognition language, and pause or resume whenever you need
Revisit Your Edits
• View before-and-after changes in Version History and choose the content to restore
• Lock important versions to prevent automatic cleanup
Organize Your Library
• Create folders and nested folders
• Jump back into what you're working on via Recents
• Add notes, sort, move, rename, or batch-manage items
• Deleted items go to Trash first and are kept for one month
Take Control of Files and Display
• Export documents or folders as Markdown, TXT, Word, or PDF — easy to share, print, or continue editing in other software
• Customize font, font size, default editing mode, and save behavior
• Follow system appearance, or choose Light or Dark theme
• Available in 28 languages
Extra Access Protection
If needed, you can add in-app access verification to specific folders using a password, Face ID, or Touch ID. Face ID / Touch ID verification is handled entirely by the system — the app itself never accesses or stores your facial or fingerprint data. This feature does not modify or encrypt the files themselves.
Your words, clear, focused, and in your control.

Downloaded it for the Word/PDF export, mainly wanted something easy for writing on my phone. Clean interface, no clutter, no random ads or popups — really helps me stay focused while writing.
Developer Response
Thank you for your support! Glad the clean interface helps you stay focused. Happy writing!
