MDash 6.0: notes look finished as you type in the new MDash mode, plus wiki-links, math formulas, callouts and an outline. iPhone, iPad and Mac.
MDash is a Markdown editor that keeps your notes as plain text on your device. No lock-in, no account, no sync you did not ask for. Write on iPhone, iPad and now Mac — the full workspace on every screen.
MARKDOWN, RENDERED LIVE
Type plain Markdown and watch the preview update as you type: headings, lists, task checkboxes, tables, code blocks with syntax awareness, links and images. Show the text, the preview, or both side by side.
MERMAID DIAGRAMS — FREE FOR EVERYONE
Describe a flowchart, sequence diagram, Gantt chart, class diagram or state machine in plain text and MDash draws it instantly. Rendering is built into the app: no network, nothing leaves your device.
ON MAC AND APPLE WATCH
The complete MDash workspace runs on macOS — a three-column library, keyboard-first editing and the same live preview and Mermaid rendering. On Apple Watch, browse your library and read any note on your wrist. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch.
YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
• Pinned notes, Last 7 Days, and Trash with restore
• Full-text search across every note, with jump to match
• In-document find and replace with match highlighting
• Attach photos to notes; files stay ordinary Markdown
• Folders keep related notes together; create one right from the sidebar

• Smart folders collect notes automatically from the tags you choose
• Scan documents into a note, and search the text inside photos and scans — on device, free
• Import from Obsidian, Bear, Apple Notes, TextBundle or any folder of Markdown files — free
• Version History keeps earlier versions of every note on device, ready to restore — free
EXPORT AND SHARE
• Export Markdown and plain text — free

MDASH PRO — LIFETIME OR MONTHLY
MDash Pro unlocks iCloud sync across your devices, export to PDF, HTML, Word, ePub and more, and watermark-free Mermaid diagrams. Choose a one-time lifetime purchase or a monthly subscription — both unlock exactly the same features. The monthly subscription renews automatically until cancelled; manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Notes are stored on device; sync is optional and uses your iCloud. Mermaid rendering is local. There is no tracking and no account.

MDash 6.0 is our biggest update yet: notes look finished while you type, the plain Markdown underneath never changes, and there’s a new blue icon.
• New MDash mode, now the default: headings, bold, checkboxes, links, photos, tables, math and Mermaid diagrams take shape as you type, and the note stays plain Markdown; Settings ▸ Typography ▸ Writing ▸ Open notes in (Settings ▸ Editor on Mac) switches back to Markdown or Classic
• Text pasted from Safari, Mail, Pages, Notes, Google Docs or Word keeps its headings, lists and links as Markdown, and typing / at the start of a line opens an insert menu
• Link notes by title with [[Note title]], with suggestions as you type, and see which notes link to this one in the new Links tab of Note Info (ⓘ)
• Write math formulas in LaTeX and GitHub-style callouts for notes, tips and warnings; both appear in the preview, in exports and on Apple Watch and Apple TV
• Outline lists a note’s headings in a side panel or sheet and jumps to a section in one tap, and the new Typewriter Scrolling keeps the line you’re typing in the middle
• Sort By Date Modified, Date Created or Title, with pinned notes kept on top and the order synced by iCloud Sync (Pro) to Apple Watch and Apple TV; you can now also change a note’s creation date in Note Info
• A single Return now shows as a new line in the preview and in exports (turn off Keep Line Breaks for the old look), and Settings ▸ General ▸ Diagram Colors gives Mermaid diagrams a fresh default palette with three more to choose from
• On iPad and Mac, a floating formatting bar docks at the bottom or either side of the note; on Mac, Settings and Help open in their own windows, and with Pro, AI assistants such as Claude Code and Codex can search, read, create and organize your notes through Settings ▸ MCP
