The Editor
Pane uses Bear-style cursor-aware rendering. Markdown markers hide when you move away and dim when you're editing inside the node. It's the best of both worlds — the power of Markdown with the polish of a rich text editor.
Choose from 8 font families including San Francisco, New York, and Courier. Adjust the size from tiny to extra-large. Pick a color. Enable typewriter mode on iOS to keep your cursor centered. Make it yours.
Organization
Organize notes the way your brain works. Create custom folders, add #hashtags that auto-detect, color-code by context, and search across everything instantly. Filter by type, date range, color, or status.
Type [[Note Name]] or @mention to create instant links between notes. See which notes reference each other with the backlinks panel. Turn your notes into a personal knowledge graph.
