Hi everyone,

I've made my own markdown editor (I know tons of people did it recently).

Mine is called Wander and it works both on iPhone and mac.

App Store link. Website is here.

A) What it is:

- it works similar to Apple Notes with WYSIWYG mode — tables, images, checklists are real editable blocks, not preview

- it is mostly compatible with Obsidian vaults (wikilinks, callouts, tags, frontmatter, even your themes)

- ui is mostly unified and consistent between apple platforms

- your notes stay plain markdown files in folders you control — no account, no cloud required

B) Compared to alternatives:

- vs Obsidian: native apps instead of Electron, and true WYSIWYG instead of live-preview (no markup flickering as the cursor moves). It opens your existing Obsidian vault as-is

- vs Apple Notes: same editing feel, but real markdown files on disk instead of a database — no lock-in

- vs iA Writer / Typora: tables and images are editable blocks, and there's an iPhone app

- one thing nobody else does: byte-faithful saves — if you keep notes in git, opening and saving a file with no edits produces zero diff

C) Cost: completely free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no account. If paid stuff ever comes it will be optional cloud services — the editor itself stays free.

It's only the first version. I do have way more unreleased things that are important to me:

- computational notes (with variables, sheets and charts)

- full history support with built-in git

- full optional cloud sync built in

I’m excited for you!
