edEdit – Markdown & Notes

edEdit is a native text editor for Mac and iPhone/iPad that brings notes, Markdown, and source code editing into one app.

WHY edEdit

• Truly native: AppKit on macOS, SwiftUI on iOS — no web view sluggishness.
• Consistent across platforms: your notes and files sync between Mac, iPhone, and iPad via iCloud.
• Standard file formats only: everything is .md / .txt / .swift / .json — open elsewhere whenever you want.

KEY FEATURES

Notes — Apple Notes-style organization, with plain Markdown content:
• Hierarchical tags (work/meeting/2026Q1)
• iCloud sync across devices
• Share from Apple Notes and we'll auto-convert formatting to Markdown — bold, italic, headings, lists, and checklists are preserved.

Files — Open and edit any text file on your device:
• Pull from the Files app, iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, or any provider
• Automatic encoding detection (UTF-8, Big5, Shift-JIS, GB18030, …)
• Syntax highlighting for Swift, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, C/C++, Java, HTML, JSON, YAML, Shell, Markdown, and more
• Line numbers, light and dark themes
• Save edits back to the original location

iCloud Drive integration — Automatically creates an "edEdit" folder in iCloud Drive that syncs across all your devices.

Dedicated Markdown editing:
• Keyboard accessory bar: headings, bold, italic, lists, tasks, quotes, links, images
• Hardware keyboard shortcuts: ⌘B (bold) / ⌘I (italic) / ⌘K (link) / ⌘E (code) / ⌘1-6 (headings)
• Smart list continuation: pressing Enter in a list line auto-continues; pressing Enter on an empty item exits the list
• Paste an image straight from the clipboard — we save it next to the .md file and insert a Markdown reference

File compare — Visualize the differences between two files line-by-line, with added/removed/modified highlights.

Find in Files — Recursively search a folder you pick, filterable by filename glob.

Share & print — Built-in ShareLink, with AirPrint support.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Developers writing docs, reading logs, editing config files
• Writers using Markdown for blog posts and drafts
• Anyone who wants their files to stay theirs — no proprietary lock-in
• People who switch between editing on Mac and quick capture on iPhone

PRIVACY & COMPLIANCE

• Notes, files, and images stay on your device or in your own iCloud — our servers never see them
• Free tier includes ads served by Google AdMob (shown on app launch and occasionally when closing the note editor)
• Upgrade to Pro to remove all ads
