Lecture notes

Long notes that navigate themselves

Write fast in plain Markdown and let the editor handle the structure: a live preview beside your source and an auto-generated table of contents that makes a semester of notes searchable.

  • Side-by-side source and live preview with an auto-generated table of contents
  • LaTeX math via KaTeX: equations and formulas render right in your notes
  • Start from a template instead of a blank page: equations, chemistry, tables, and diagrams

AI assistance

From blank page to outline in one prompt

Ask the AI assistant for an outline or first draft, then shape it yourself. Every AI edit shows as a diff preview, so nothing lands in your paper without your approval.

  • Generate outlines and first drafts from a prompt
  • Contextual chat that understands the document you have open
  • Inline diff previews: you approve every change

Group review

Keep project feedback beside the paragraph

Invite group members to the live draft and replace scattered chat messages with focused comments, replies, and resolved review threads.

  • Read or write access for group members
  • Comments, suggestions, and highlights attached to selected text
  • Replies and resolution keep the review moving

Submissions

Submit in whatever format the course wants

Professors want Word, portals want PDF, your group wants a link. Write once in Markdown and export to the format each submission requires.

  • Export to DocX or ODT for Word-only submissions
  • Styled HTML and print-to-PDF output
  • Invite group members with view or edit access for shared projects

Reliable by default

Built to survive the all-nighter

Library Wi-Fi drops, laptops die, files get overwritten. The editor is offline-first and keeps automatic version history, so the 2 a.m. draft is always recoverable.

  • Offline-first editing that syncs when you reconnect
  • Automatic version history with one-click restore
  • Plain Markdown files you own: import and export freely

Internship season

Keep your resume in Markdown, print it anywhere

Internship season means endless resume tweaks. Sign up and start from the built-in Resume template, preview the print layout live, and save a PDF when it is ready.

  • Start from the Resume template, structure and print styles included
  • One .md file you own and can version, tweak, and reprint anytime
  • The preview is the print: the same renderer for screen and PDF
