Rotate and zoom an STL model inside your document. Watch the demo below.

New in this update (1.0.20)

Open PDF and Word files as Markdown. AI chat answers open with their formatting quirks fixed. Save a PDF that looks like the preview, in one click.

Write beside a live preview. Mermaid, Graphviz, math, 3D models and maps, offline. Markdown mistakes are underlined, and Ctrl+Shift+W aligns table columns.

Windows only, free. PDF import is best effort: multi-column layouts and scanned PDFs do not come back. AI chat answers are reproduced as closely as possible. Recorded from source build 1.0.20. Developed and produced with AI assistance (Claude, Codex). The music was composed and generated with Codex.

Diagrams, 3D, maps and video

From Mermaid, Graphviz and math to interactive STL, GeoJSON and embedded video.

Write with the result in view

Synchronized scrolling, a detached preview and a full-window viewer.

Preserved content depends on the format. Word import does not preserve colors or layout; notebook export omits execution output.

Drop or paste an image, then set it to 50% width and center it (screen from 1.0.15). Share the document and its used assets as a ZIP.

Actual image adjustment result: 50% width, centered
