A calm WYSIWYG Markdown editor where the document stays visible while you write. No split pane. No preview button. Just meaning, in place.
A living document, written entirely in Markdown.
Inkiva renders your formatting as you type — headings grow, emphasis leans, and code snaps into place without leaving the page.
Write once. See the meaning.
Write naturally. Inkiva keeps the rendered document in view and turns Markdown structure into readable content as you go.
Headings, emphasis, links and lists become visible without leaving the document.
Drop into raw Markdown only when you need full control.
Paste rich content and continue in one clean, portable Markdown document.
Bold snaps bold, italics lean, and links become clickable the instant you finish them.
Lists build themselves:
Stay in flow — never touch a render button again.
Tables, math, diagrams, footnotes and front matter — all first-class, all rendered live.
Build them visually, or pipe them in with Markdown.
KaTeX inline and block math, rendered instantly.
Flowcharts and charts via Mermaid, Vega & Vega-Lite.
Two-way reference footnotes that renumber themselves.
Syntax highlighting for hundreds of languages.
YAML, TOML and JSON metadata for blogs and static sites.
33 built-in themes, light and dark. Every one is just CSS — fork a favorite or write your own.
Switch with a keystroke, or follow your system.
No proprietary format. Know CSS? You can theme it.
Dim everything but the line you're writing, and keep it locked to center. Distraction-free by design.
Turn any document into a polished PDF or self-contained HTML file — your theme included.
