A Markdown editor whose writing area is a real Windows text field — the kind NVDA reads without breaking a sweat. Formatting is assisted and spoken back to you. The HTML preview is one key away.

Features

  • A native text field, read properly. NVDA follows the echo, the caret, and the selection, with no layer standing between you and the text.
  • Formatting says itself out loud. Bold (Ctrl+B), italic (Ctrl+I), strikethrough (Ctrl+Shift+X), inline code (Ctrl+`), and code blocks (Ctrl+Shift+K) — every action is confirmed aloud.
  • A document’s structure, from the keyboard. Headings one to three (Ctrl+1/2/3), block quote (Ctrl+Q), bulleted (Ctrl+Shift+U) and numbered lists (Ctrl+Shift+L), footnotes (Ctrl+Shift+F).
  • Tables without counting pipe characters. Ctrl+T builds the table for you. Ctrl+K inserts a link.
  • Task lists that actually tick. Ctrl+Shift+T creates a checkbox, Ctrl+Shift+D ticks and unticks it.
  • Move by the outline. Alt+Down and Alt+Up jump to the next or previous heading, Ctrl+Shift+O opens the document outline, Ctrl+F searches and F3 carries on.
  • The preview, one key away. F6 switches to the built-in HTML preview (WebView, Edge/WebView2 engine), falling back to your default browser.
  • Your files stay your files. Open and save in UTF-8, recent documents, HTML export. English and French interface, settings kept between sessions, and updates checked from inside the app.
