Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

A folder of Markdown files is now a set of linked notes. • Wikilinks: type [[ to link notes, with completion. Rename a note and every link to it follows. • Backlinks: each note shows what points at it. • Note properties: YAML frontmatter edited as a table, with value and date pickers. • Tabs, back and forward, and search across every note in the folder. • Faster startup and a lighter file tree on large folders. MarkView Pro is optional and adds the graph of links between notes, find and replace across the folder, filtering the tree by property, and property values suggested from across your notes.
