GrayCat Markdown
Local writing and publishing
Free
Version 1.3 adds document rename and delete, undo/redo buttons, YAML front matter support, and more accurate word counts.
GrayCat Markdown is now available on iPhone and iPad. Bring the Markdown files you saved from the Mac app into iCloud, then open, edit, preview, and prepare them for publishing on the go.
Core features
• Open iCloud documents: shares the same iCloud.com.graycat.stickymd Documents container with the Mac app.
• Choose a writing folder: authorize your own iCloud Drive folder in Files, such as a personal writing folder.
• Mobile Markdown toolbar: headings, bold, italic, quotes, lists, links, and images are easy to insert.
• Preview four output forms directly: Standard, Zhihu, Toutiao, and WeChat Official Account styles live inside Preview.
• Keep image assets beside the document: inserted photos or image files are saved into the matching .assets folder and referenced with relative Markdown paths.
• Search titles, paths, and document body text.
• Publish readiness checks: review word count, headings, images, links, and code fences before copying.
• Recent documents for quick return.
Sync model
GrayCat Markdown uses iCloud Documents and local Markdown files. It does not use a third-party cloud service or upload your content to the developer. After saving from the Mac app to iCloud, refresh the iOS document list or reload the active document to read the latest content. For a custom folder, select and authorize that folder on iOS first.
Privacy
• No app account required
• No analytics collection
• No ads or tracking SDKs
• Documents stay in the local or iCloud location you choose
Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Version 1.3 focuses on document management and keeping the writing experience in step with the Mac app.
Document management: swipe or long-press in the list to rename or delete documents.
Undo / redo buttons on the keyboard toolbar.
YAML front matter support: metadata at the top of a document shows as a collapsible "Document info" card instead of leaking into the body.
Word counting upgraded to mixed CJK + Latin counting, matching the Mac app's publish checks.
On non-Chinese devices the Chinese platform preview styles are hidden by default, with a toggle right below the platform picker.
The iCloud conflict banner shows the cloud-side modification date; the preview refreshes immediately after a document is updated by another device; plus rendering and stability fixes (# inside code blocks no longer appears in the outline, Windows line-ending compatibility, and more).
