Faithful rendering
GitHub-flavored markdown — tables, task lists, footnotes, alerts, and heading anchors. Math via KaTeX, Mermaid diagrams, and syntax highlighting in six themes.
Free & open source
Markdown that feels native.
A fast, cross-platform markdown viewer and editor with platform-native styling. Render GitHub-flavored markdown, edit live, draw on infinite canvas boards, and export to PDF — all offline, all yours.
Free, open source, and offline-first. macOS, Windows & Linux.
Features
Everything a markdown app should be
Built with Tauri and React for a tiny footprint and a native feel on every platform.
Live editor
A split-view editor with live preview, styled markdown tokens, find-in-document, and undo/redo for in-app edits like task toggles.
Infinite canvas
Open JSON Canvas (.canvas) files as a pan-and-zoom board. Cards render markdown, images, and links, connected by labelled arrows — round-trips with Obsidian.
Workspace & wikilinks
Open a folder as a workspace with a file tree, [[wikilinks]], a backlinks panel, and a command palette to jump anywhere with Cmd/Ctrl+K.
Graph view
See your whole workspace as a force-directed graph — notes are nodes, wikilinks are edges. Hover to highlight neighbours, click to open, and watch it update live as you write.
Export anywhere
Print or export to PDF, HTML, DOCX, and EPUB — including vector math and diagrams. Your documents leave Glyph looking exactly as they should.
Native theming
Platform-adaptive styling that respects light and dark mode, with six code themes and typography that feels at home on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
