Boreal Markdown Editor
Preview .md, export clean PDF
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Open Markdown files, edit only the text you select, protect unsaved changes, and export polished PDFs. Unlock advanced tools once with Boreal Pro.
Boreal Markdown is a focused iOS document tool for people who already keep notes, drafts, specs, and reports in plain Markdown files.
Open a .md or .markdown file from Files, read the rendered preview, edit the source, then save intentionally or export a clean PDF. Boreal Markdown is built around the small document loop, not a new notes database or cloud workspace.
Included for everyone:
- Open Markdown and plain text files through iOS file access
- Read a rendered Markdown preview with clear document typography
- Switch between preview and source editing
- Apply headings, bold, italic, links, lists, and code to the cursor or selected text
- See saved and unsaved states near the document title
- Choose Save, Discard, or Cancel before leaving a document with unsaved edits
- Save changes back to the opened file when iOS file access allows it
- Export the rendered document as a PDF with paper, theme, text size, and title options
- Share the PDF or save it back to Files
- Persist appearance, accent, editor text, and PDF defaults between launches
Boreal Pro is an optional one-time purchase. It unlocks:
- Document outline navigation
- Find and replace
- Markdown cleanup
- Split editing and preview on supported layouts
- Advanced PDF themes, margins, table of contents, page numbers, headers, footers, and reusable presets
Boreal Markdown is local-first. There is no account, subscription, hosted sync service, AI processing, backend document storage, or collaboration system.
Use Boreal Markdown when you want a quiet iPhone and iPad workbench for opening, editing, saving, and sharing Markdown files as PDFs.
