Manicule

Markdown, exactly as you wrote it.

A local-first Markdown editor that edits visually — no preview pane, no split screen — while never rewriting a byte you didn't type. Your files stay yours, on your disk, in plain text.

01

Pages in a sidebar

A collapsible sidebar holds every page in the vault. Files stay files — folders on disk, nothing hidden in a database.

02

Formatting that gets out of the way

Bold, italic, headings, paragraphs, bulleted and numbered lists — applied inline, the way you'd expect, with the Markdown source intact underneath.

03In progress

Mermaid diagrams

Diagram rendering is being built. Mermaid blocks are preserved verbatim today, but they aren't drawn in the editor yet.
