Nice Markdown showing a plan written by a coding agent: an outline of headings on the left, and the document with a status note and a flow diagram on the right. — Nice Markdown with a sample plan, the kind a coding agent writes.

Read and edit as a document

See Markdown as a visual document, make changes there, and use the outline to move between headings.

Work with tables

See tables alongside text and lists. Switch to Source to edit the Markdown.

Review file changes

When an open file changes on disk, see a notice or compare both versions before saving.

Export a PDF

Print a document or export its visual rendering as a PDF when you want to share it.

The small feature visuals are illustrations, not app screenshots.

An example file-based workflow

Find your tasks. Tick them off.

Say a coding agent gives you a long plan and points you to the actions that need your attention. Open the Markdown file, choose that section from the outline, and work through the list in Visual.

Tick a checkbox and choose Save. The change goes into the same .md file, ready for the agent to read when it next checks the file.

01An agent points you to a section
It says: "Your tasks are under Your actions" in a Markdown plan.
02Use the outline to get there
Open the file and choose Your actions from the heading list.
03Tick a task and save
Work in the document view, then choose Save.
LaterThe agent can read the saved file
When it next checks the file, it can see the completed task.

Illustrative workflow cards, not app screenshots. Nice Markdown does not send files to or resume agents automatically.

Tables and source

Keep the table in view.

Tables in Markdown files are written as plain text, with | marks between columns. Nice Markdown shows the same information as a table in Visual, alongside the rest of your document. Switch to Source to see or edit the Markdown text, then return to Visual to read the table again.

Try itChoose Source to reveal the Markdown behind this table.Now choose Visual to see that Markdown rendered as a table.

Diagrams in Markdown

See diagrams in your document.

A Markdown file can contain a Mermaid diagram: a few lines of text that describe boxes and arrows. Nice Markdown shows it as a diagram in Visual view, so you can follow the idea at a glance.

Choose Edit on the diagram to change its text, or switch to Source. The file stays ordinary Markdown.

When a file changes elsewhere

Compare before you save.

You might edit a plan while a coding agent or another tool updates the same file. Nice Markdown notices the change and lets you review your proposed Save text beside the version on disk.

Short recording of Nice Markdown. A checkbox is ticked in a plan, another program then changes the file, a notice appears, and Review changes shows the unsaved edits beside the version on disk with the changed lines highlighted. — Recorded in the app with a sample plan: tick an answer, the file changes on disk, then compare the two versions.

Use the disk version

Reload the file with the other changes.

Keep my edits

Choose your version, then save it.

Save my edits as a copy

Create a separate Markdown file and leave the original untouched.

Nice Markdown helps you choose what to keep. It does not merge the two versions or direct the other tool.

Everyday Markdown

Easy to pick up. Ready for the files you already have.

Open one file or several, find what you need, and keep them in tabs. Choose a light or dark theme and a comfortable width, make your change, then save an .md file that other editors, scripts and coding agents can read. Your theme, layout and window are remembered next time.

The app itself

Tables and checklists, light or dark.

Click a table cell to change it. Tick a task. When you save, the file is still ordinary Markdown.
