Mermaid diagrams, live preview

Free · In-App Purchases

MDash 4.4: colour-code your folders, read syntax-highlighted code in every note, and see at a glance whether iCloud has caught up. iPhone, iPad, Mac and Watch. 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.

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

MDash 4.4 makes your notes easier to read and your library easier to recognise at a glance. • Code blocks are syntax-coloured everywhere now — live preview, every export and Apple Watch. Twenty languages, free for everyone • Give folders and smart folders their own colour and icon, so you can spot the one you want without reading a single label • Editing is easier to find: the toolbar names the mode — Edit, Preview or Split — instead of asking you to decode a symbol • The first line of a note now looks like the title it is, and the note scrolls smoothly under the navigation bar • iCloud sync catches up as soon as the app opens, so a device you had closed is up to date by the time you start reading • “Last synced” now tells you the truth, and Apple Watch says what it is actually waiting for instead of spinning forever • On Mac: a tidier File menu with a real New Note command, and a welcome screen that looks right again
