Welcome to Wordpad

Wordpad is a fast, beautiful Markdown editor that lives entirely in your browser. Nothing you write ever leaves your device: there are no accounts, no servers and no tracking. Just you and your words.

Start typing on the left and watch the preview update on the right. Everything you need is a keystroke away. Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) to open the command palette.

Why you’ll like it

• ✨ Live preview with synchronised scrolling, so you always know where you are
• 🧜 Mermaid diagrams rendered inline: flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, mind maps and more
• 🧮 Maths typeset with KaTeX, like $E = mc^2$
• 🎨 Syntax highlighting for more than forty languages
• 💾 Autosave to your browser, with a library of documents
• 📤 Export to Markdown, standalone HTML or PDF
• 🔗 Share a document as a link. The content is packed into the URL itself and never uploaded
• 🌗 Light and dark themes that follow your system

Maths

Inline maths like $\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$ sits comfortably in a sentence, and display maths gets a line of its own:

$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} \, dx = \sqrt{\pi}$$
