Boreal Markdown Editor

Open Markdown files, edit only the text you select, protect unsaved changes, and export polished PDFs. Unlock advanced tools once with Boreal Pro.

Boreal Markdown is a focused iOS document tool for people who already keep notes, drafts, specs, and reports in plain Markdown files.

Open a .md or .markdown file from Files, read the rendered preview, edit the source, then save intentionally or export a clean PDF. Boreal Markdown is built around the small document loop, not a new notes database or cloud workspace.

Included for everyone:

• Open Markdown and plain text files through iOS file access
• Read a rendered Markdown preview with clear document typography
• Switch between preview and source editing
• Apply headings, bold, italic, links, lists, and code to the cursor or selected text
• See saved and unsaved states near the document title
• Choose Save, Discard, or Cancel before leaving a document with unsaved edits
• Save changes back to the opened file when iOS file access allows it
• Export the rendered document as a PDF with paper, theme, text size, and title options
• Share the PDF or save it back to Files
• Persist appearance, accent, editor text, and PDF defaults between launches

Boreal Pro is an optional one-time purchase. It unlocks:

• Document outline navigation
• Find and replace
• Markdown cleanup
• Split editing and preview on supported layouts
• Advanced PDF themes, margins, table of contents, page numbers, headers, footers, and reusable presets

Boreal Markdown is local-first. There is no account, subscription, hosted sync service, AI processing, backend document storage, or collaboration system.

Use Boreal Markdown when you want a quiet iPhone and iPad workbench for opening, editing, saving, and sharing Markdown files as PDFs.
