markleaf-android

Project Overview

Markleaf is an Android Markdown note app designed to strip away the clutter so you can focus on just two things: capturing and organizing. Your data is stored only on your device, and standard Markdown guarantees full ownership and portability. Even sync happens only through a folder you choose — Markleaf itself never goes online.
