Metis: Markdown Notes

Native Markdown editor & notes

Free · In-App Purchases

Metis is a native Markdown editor and local-first knowledge base. Your notes are just .md files in a folder you own - Metis is a fast, beautiful, native view over them. No lock-in, no proprietary format, no account required to write. WRITE IN LIVE PREVIEW A clean Obsidian-style editor styles your Markdown as you type - headings, bold, lists, quotes and code - while keeping the raw syntax one tap away. It feels like writing in a document, not in code. On iPad it's a full three-pane workspace with hardware-keyboard shortcuts. CONNECT YOUR IDEAS Link any two notes with [[wiki links]]. Backlinks appear automatically, so you always see what references the note you're reading. An interactive link graph shows your whole knowledge base at a glance - zoom, pan, and drag nodes to explore the connections. READ BEAUTIFULLY Reading mode renders the full document: headings, tables, task lists, images, syntax-highlighted code, Mermaid diagrams, and real math (LaTeX) rendered natively - no web view. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Tag anything with #tags, group notes into folders, and add typed properties (status, owner, due...) that round-trip as YAML front matter. A fast switcher and full-text search get you anywhere instantly. ON-DEVICE AI (Apple Intelligence) Summarize a note, suggest tags or related links, and ask your whole vault a question - all running privately on your device. AI is optional; the app is fully functional without it. PRIVATE AND YOURS Everything stays in plain files on your device. No tracking, no cloud lock-in. Open the same folder in any other Markdown editor whenever you like. Import an existing folder of notes (from Obsidian or anywhere) and Metis just works. ONE PURCHASE, ALL YOUR DEVICES A single one-time purchase unlocks Metis Pro on your Mac, iPad and iPhone - no subscription. Try everything free for 7 days. Metis is made by Empiric Apps.

- List & task buttons in the editor. The Wysiwyg formatting bar (Mac floating bar + iOS keyboard bar) now has bulleted list, numbered list, and task list (checkbox) buttons. Tapping one toggles the prefix across the selected lines: same kind again removes it, numbered lists renumber from 1, blank lines are left alone, a checkbox on a numbered item keeps its number, and clicking on an empty line starts a fresh item. - Nicer task checkboxes. Checkboxes now draw as real, text-sized rounded boxes (Mac + iPad + iPhone) instead of raw [ ] brackets - checked ones fill with the accent colour and a checkmark. The file on disk still stores standard [ ] Markdown. - Folders open their first note. Selecting a folder now auto-opens its first note in the detail pane instead of leaving it blank (Mac). It keeps your current selection if that note already lives in the folder. - Clearer lock prompt. Locking a note while your notes session is locked now shows an "Unlock to Lock This Note" prompt that explains the session must be unlocked first, instead of a generic "Unlock Notes" dialog that read like you were opening something.
