A focused browser-based editor for turning Markdown into beautifully typeset PDFs. Live preview, editorial templates, pixel-precise pagination — and your file never leaves the tab.
In which we consider what is gained when the writer stops fighting the page.
There is a particular pleasure in writing plain text that, by some small magic, becomes a typeset page.
The right typography disappears.
Six small commitments. No AI summary buttons. No collaboration cursors. No accounts. Just a Markdown editor with a real PDF at the other end.
Your Markdown renders into A4 / Letter pages, side by side, in the same fonts that ship in the PDF. Pages break where pages break.
One keystroke opens the print dialog. Real page numbers, real running heads, real margins. The PDF matches the preview, page for page.
From long-form article to README-style technical docs — each template is tuned for a different kind of document. Switch any time from the toolbar; the preview reflows instantly.
A growing set of carefully chosen serif, sans, and monospace pairings — drop caps, hung punctuation, and old-style figures included where they belong.
Editor and rendering run entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Your Markdown never leaves the tab — close the laptop, keep your file.
Fenced code is highlighted in the editor and the PDF, in a monospace tuned for print legibility. Same colours, top to bottom.
From a blank document to a printable PDF in under a minute, including the typing.
Type or paste Markdown. Drag a .md file in to open it. Standard CommonMark plus tables and footnotes — nothing exotic, nothing missing.
Pick a template, page size, fonts, and margins. Live preview reflows as you change them — what you see is exactly what the PDF will be.
Press ⌘P or click Export PDF. A new tab opens with the print dialog — choose Save as PDF, and you’re done.
Each template is a small CSS sheet, tuned for one kind of document. Open the editor, pick one, write — or fork the CSS for your own.
