What you can do.

Write where it feels natural.

Work in the Markdown source or directly in Preview, with a shared undo history. On iPhone and iPad, Preview is read-only by default, with an option to enable direct editing in Settings. This editor update is rolling out to the other platforms.

Your files stay yours.

Open documents from your chosen file provider, browse a folder as a workspace and return to recent files. Your writing stays in ordinary Markdown documents.

A clearer view of the page.

Follow the outline, find and replace text, or settle into focus mode. Wider screens add an adjustable Split view with synchronized scrolling.

More than plain paragraphs.

Preview tables, task lists, code and images alongside Mermaid diagrams, fenced, inline and display math, and footnotes. Bundled diagram and math rendering works without an online service.

Give your work a next step.

Export PDF or standalone HTML with rendered diagrams, typeset math and footnote endnotes, or print your document. Permitted images are included when available; missing images use a readable fallback.

Free core. Optional one-time upgrades.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro. Android core editing is unlimited and free; optional Android Pro is a one-time purchase for PDF export, printing and self-contained HTML. Editable Word (DOCX) export is planned for a later Android update. Mac offers an explicitly activated 14-day full trial, then a one-time unlock. Each store shows the current price for your region before you buy. There is no subscription or automatic trial charge.

What is new in the editor update?

The editor update is available on iPhone and iPad, with the other platforms following separately. Alongside optional Preview editing and clearer controls, it adds workspace search and favorites, templates and visual tables, local document history, image insertion and capture, typography with a centered column or full-window writing width, clearer writing tools and history dialogs, relative links and backlinks, export layout choices and editable DOCX output, plus optional app locking and Bulgarian/Arabic interface resources. DOCX uses readable fallbacks for graphics, and app lock does not encrypt your files. These features will depend on your installed app version; read Support for limits and platform details. Your files remain with your selected file provider.

Where can I install Markling?

How much does Markling cost?

Free on iPhone, iPad and Apple Vision Pro. Android core editing is unlimited and free; optional Android Pro is a one-time purchase for PDF export, printing and self-contained HTML. Editable Word (DOCX) export is planned for a later Android update. Mac offers an explicitly activated 14-day full trial, then a one-time unlock. Each store shows the current price for your region before you buy. There is no subscription or automatic trial charge.

What does Android Pro include?

Android Pro unlocks PDF export, printing and self-contained HTML with a one-time Google Play purchase. Opening, reading, editing and saving Markdown files, Preview, Split view, outline, find and replace, and line numbers remain unlimited and free. Editable Word (DOCX) export is planned for a later update. There is no subscription or Android trial; Google Play shows the local price before confirmation.

How does the Mac trial work?

The Mac trial starts when you complete the free 14-day Trial activation in the app. It lasts 14 consecutive days from the original trial activation. After it ends, you can still open, read, copy, export and print documents, and save outstanding edits with Save or Save As. Creating documents or making further edits requires the one-time unlock. The trial does not renew or become a paid purchase automatically. Your documents remain your files and are not deleted when the trial ends.

Can I restore the Mac unlock?

Use Restore Purchases in the Mac app while signed in to the Apple Account used for the purchase. An internet connection may be needed to verify or restore access. Restoring the trial keeps its original end date; it does not start another 14 days. If a purchase is refunded or revoked, it no longer grants the unlock.

Do I need a Markling account?

No separate Markling account is needed. The Mac trial, unlock and restoration use your Apple Account; Android Pro purchases and restoration use Google Play. If you choose a cloud file provider, that provider may require its own account.

Does Markling work offline?

Local editing and bundled diagram and math rendering work offline. On Mac, creating documents and making edits require an active trial or unlock. Android core editing stays free; a previously verified Android Pro purchase can support offline exports while Google Play is temporarily unavailable. Starting a trial, buying or restoring an unlock, remote HTTPS images, and cloud file providers may need a connection.

Where are my documents saved?

In the locations you choose through your device's file tools. Mac uses Save and Save As; mobile documents save in place when the chosen file provider allows it. Android keeps local recovery data for unsaved changes when needed.

Which Markdown files can I open?

Markling supports UTF-8 Markdown documents up to 16 MiB, with CommonMark and GitHub-Flavored Markdown features, plus Mermaid diagrams, fenced and dollar-delimited math, and footnotes. Access to folders and neighboring images follows your file provider's permissions. Export has separate size and rendering limits; see Support for details.
