- *Local Priority*: MarkFlowy is a pure editor designed to edit your local content. The synchronization method is left to the user's choice. Currently, it provides a Git manager and will later integrate with other similar cloud storage services for synchronization. Feel free to provide feedback on this.
- *User Experience First*: It offers multiple editing modes, including source code and WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). Additionally, it supports custom themes. Furthermore, high performance is the foundation of a good user experience. MarkFlowy has a lightweight package size and specialized performance optimization. Real-world testing shows that on an M1 Mac device, editing documents with over 200,000 characters can still ensure smooth writing in both Chinese and English.
- *AI Support*: MarkFlowy integrates with multiple AI vendors such as Deepseek, Openai, and Ollama. It also supports using their features within the editor for tasks like Q&A, summarization, translation, etc., to enhance your writing efficiency.
- *Simplicity*: Out-of-the-box usability. You only need to familiarize yourself with Markdown syntax to use it easily. It also provides synchronization methods such as Git and a powerful file management tree.
Apart from these features, MarkFlowy can edit text files (txt), JSON files, and view image files, among other useful functions. We welcome everyone to experience, exchange ideas, and participate.
