The main window is a writing column flanked by sidebars: title bar on top, status bar at the bottom, editor in the middle; Files, Outline, and other tabs can sit on either side (and collapse when you want more canvas).

For distraction-free writing, auto-hide the title and status bars so the UI feels closer to “a single sheet of paper”. See Themes and Appearance.

Dual sidebars

Left and right tabs are configurable (Files / Search / Bookmarks / Tags / Outline / Graph).

How to arrange tabs

  1. Open Settings → Appearance.

  2. Assign each tab to the left or right sidebar list.

  3. Resize by dragging the sidebar edge; collapse when you want a wider writing column.

Both sidebars can be collapsed — the editor keeps the full middle. Toggle visibility with the sidebar shortcut (default Ctrl/⌘ + B, rebindable).

Editor host

The center is @inimark/editor:

Context menus insert formatting, links, callouts, and the current time — see Markdown Syntax.

If another app changes the open file: unmodified buffers reload silently with a toast; dirty buffers show a banner to reload or keep edits; saving against a changed disk file asks before overwrite.

Status bar

Typical items:

  • Word / character counts

  • Typewriter toggle

  • Scroll to top / bottom (bottom can bring the last line to mid-viewport)

  • Other edit state (depending on config)

Settings window

Settings open in a separate window and are searchable. See Settings Overview:
