Typewriter for Markdown 4+

Markdown editor with syncing

I tried a few syncing notes editors, each with a gazillion features, before settling on Typewriter. It focuses on Markdown and syncs across devices. Turns out, that’s all I wanted.

I mostly use the iPad and Mac apps for editing. iPhone is useful to view documents on-the-run, but my aging eyes struggle to edit on the phone—folks with better eyesight will do better.

I was concerned about the monetization model. The whole thing is completely free. That’s fantastic, but I want a long-term supported app. Eventually, I found a Donate button in the app Preferences. I promise, this is not a paid review, or some kind of shill—just throw a few bucks at the developer if, like me, you want Typewriter to keep going.

Great Simple, Clean Markdown App

✔️ This is a very simple and clean markdown editor that does exactly what it says it does --nothing more, nothing less -- and that's a good thing. It really lets you focus on what it is you're writing.

❓ I would love to know if there a keyboard shortcuts for use with the iOS version of the app when I have my Bluetooth keyboard hooked up. In particular I'd like to have a hot key for switching between editing and preview modes.

Developer Response ,

Hello, thank you for the review! You should be able to switch between modes with cmd+ctrl+ P (review) / E (ditor) / B (oth), like on Mac. You can also check other available shortcuts while editing with cmd long press (like bold/italic/strikethrough, indent left or right, lists...). I will add more of them soon to keep the iOS app on par with the Mac one.

Keeps getting better!

I’ve switched over to Typewriter for all of my markdown needs. The instant preview is the killer feature. I’m also enjoying all of the new keyboard shortcuts. The developer is very responsing and keeps improving the app. Highly recommended.
