About Markleaf

Markleaf is a local-first Markdown note app for Android.

Write plain Markdown, organize with inline tags, search instantly, and keep your notes under your control. Markleaf stores notes in a local Room database and does not declare the INTERNET permission.

Writing and preview:

* Live Markdown preview with live syntax coloring
* GFM tables, checkboxes, blockquotes, callouts (> [!NOTE] ...)
* Code block syntax highlighting for 10 languages
* Footnote ref def jump, wikilinks and backlinks
* Smart formatting to wrap a selection or word in bold/italic/strikethrough/code
* Focus mode, word and reading-time stats, find and replace within a note

Organizing and navigating:

* Just write #tags in the body for automatic indexing (no folders)
* Quick switcher and SQLite FTS full-text search
* Pin, archive, trash, and restore flows

Sync and import (No-Cloud):

* Mirror each note as a .md file to a folder you pick via SAF
* Import external .md / .txt files by opening or sharing them in
* Single-note and all-notes Markdown export, plus system share

Design and accessibility:

* Home screen widget, biometric lock, screenshot blocking option
* Light / dark / Material You, tablet two-pane layout
* UI in 11 languages (Korean, English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Simplified Chinese, Croatian, Russian, Vietnamese, Slovak)

Privacy and distribution:

* No account, no Markleaf server
* No analytics, ads, tracking, Firebase, or proprietary crash reporting SDK
* No INTERNET permission, Android Auto Backup disabled
* User data leaves the device only through explicit OS-mediated actions such as export, share, external link opening, or a user-selected SAF folder

Release info Update on Nov 04, 2026
Release notes This week's requests: a line spacing setting for the editor and Preview, an Empty trash button, an optional automatic clean-up of the trash, and PDF exports in the font you chose. The caret no longer flicks when the keyboard comes up, a new note's file name now follows the title you finish writing when Keep file names is on, and # inside code is no longer read as a tag. No new permissions; notes are stored exactly as before.

Added
o Line spacing. A new setting under Settings -> Editor: Compact, Normal (the default) or Relaxed. It sets how far apart lines sit in the editor and in Preview, together with Text size. Compact puts lines about 1.4 times the text size apart and fits more of a note on the screen; Relaxed puts them about twice the text size apart. In Preview, list items and paragraphs move closer together or further apart along with the lines inside them. Nothing changes until you pick an option. Thanks to @uszymyszy for the request. (#561)
o Empty trash. The Trash screen has an Empty trash button at the top. It asks first and says how many notes will go, then permanently deletes every note in the trash, along with their attachments and, if a sync folder is linked, their files there. Thanks to @stardomains3 for the request. (#566)
o Delete notes from the trash automatically. A new setting, Settings -> Notes -> Delete from trash after: Never (the default), 1 day, 7 days or 30 days. A note is deleted forever once it has been in the trash that long, with its attachments and its file in a sync folder. While a period is set, the Trash screen says so above the notes. (#566)

Changed
o Exported PDFs use your font. Export as PDF... now sets the note in the font chosen under Settings -> Editor -> Font: Serif, Monospace, or your own font file. Sans prints as before. Code keeps its monospace font. Thanks to @malekairmaroc7 for the request. (#568)

Fixed
o The caret no longer jumps when the keyboard comes up. To scroll a tapped line above the keyboard, the editor moves the...
