Keep your Markdown files and enjoy a better way to use them—with editable tables, Reading Mode, fast search, and one experience across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Your writing should stay yours—and remain easy to open with other tools.
Amber is a Markdown document app that stores regular .md files in iCloud Drive. You can see the originals in the Files app on iPhone and iPad or in Finder on Mac, so your work never depends on a proprietary document format.
Natural to write, clear to read
Markdown markers appear when you need them, while headings, lists, quotes, links, images, checkboxes, and code blocks stay easy to read. Reading Mode lets you select and copy without worrying about accidental edits. Editing Mode gets you straight back to writing.
Tables you can edit in place
Amber turns Markdown tables into clear, editable grids. Change cells, add or remove rows and columns, choose header rows or columns, and adjust alignment without leaving the document. The source remains regular Markdown.
Stay oriented in long documents
Jump to any section with the heading navigator, or fold a heading to see only the shape of your document. Find within the current file, search your entire library, use line numbers, and move back or forward between documents.
Keep a growing library organized
Recent Documents, Favorites, and folders keep important files close. Choose a destination before creating a document or folder, then rename, move, delete, and restore items with a familiar flow on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Recover from accidental changes
Amber can keep earlier contents in version history on the current device. Preview an older version, compare it with the current document, and restore the one you need. History is stored separately on each device rather than in iCloud, and its storage limit is under your control.
Continue across iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Your documents sync through iCloud Drive. Capture a thought on iPhone, shape a longer draft on iPad, and work with the original files in Finder on Mac. No separate Amber account is required.
Amber includes an interface and built-in guides in Korean, English, Japanese, and Russian.

Hello. I love this markdown editor. It is the main one that I am using as of now. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a feature allowing one to open an existing folder of markdown files? I have been using a vimwiki setup on my desktop and have lots and lots of notes. It would be nice to be able to browse an existing folder on my phone to view these files so I don’t have to copy them to the amber folder. What would also be even cooler if you could add the ability to sync this folder with a GitHub repo. Then I could give and receive updates to my notes. Thank you!
Not Impressed With Functionality and Features

I tried to open a specific markdown file, and could not. I tried to open a folder, and could not. I tried to create a folder to work in, and it had a very obtuse dialog rather than something standard (listing a root drive and manually typed folder).Finally, I tried just copying a markdown file into the tutorial folder and I was able to view it. However, it didn’t display checklists from that markdown file (just displayed them as a normal list).At this point, I was too frustrated to try the app any further. Would not recommend; they need to get very basic things working before it’s even worth considering. I didn’t rate it lower because it wasn’t worth my time to even see if it had more issues, so I went with a more neutral rating.

It seems that the newly released version has some issues. It’s not functioning smoothly. Could you please fix this?
