Engineered Precision
Designed for Developers
Every feature is tuned for lightning responsiveness, system efficiency, and deep document insights.
Shiki Syntax Highlighting
VS Code-grade syntax highlighting for 25+ programming languages including Rust, Go, Python, TypeScript, C++, Bash, and SQL with multiple dark and light themes.
KaTeX Math & Formulas
Fast, native KaTeX rendering for inline ($...$) and block ($$...$$) mathematical notation without requiring external network CDNs.
Mermaid Diagram Engine
Render flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class models, state machines, and entity-relationship diagrams directly inside your Markdown documents.
Real-Time Filesystem Watcher
Native Rust debounced monitoring (notify) detects external edits, automatically re-renders changes, and preserves your exact scroll position.
Fuzzy Quick Open (Ctrl+P)
Instant fuzzy search across all files in your workspace, plus global multi-file content regex search (Ctrl+Shift+F) with match previews.
100% Offline-First Security
Zero telemetry, zero remote network calls, and strict AST parsing with rehype-sanitize XSS protection to keep sensitive documentation secure.
