Work with familiar local files and keep recent documents close without turning notes into a managed project.

Choose light, dark, or system appearance and keep formatting controls close enough for daily writing.

Release note

Current version: 0.1.0

mdmini starts as a small, local Markdown editor for opening a file, writing without setup, and checking the rendered result when you need it.

Introduction

This first version frames the basics: local Markdown files, a dark editor workspace, and edit, split, and view modes.

Versioning

Versions use a simple major.minor.patch format. Early 0.x releases may adjust behavior while the app shape settles.
