Multi-Tab Editing

  • Highlight all matches as you type

Scale the document surface to any zoom level and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right page margins independently to suit your workflow.

  • Zoom in/out with Ctrl++ / Ctrl+-
  • Per-tab zoom levels saved automatically
  • Custom page margins via Edit → Page Margins
  • Margins persist across sessions

Dark Mode

Switch between light and dark themes with a single click. The app remembers your preference across sessions — no flicker on load.

Add links, timestamps, and horizontal rules without leaving the keyboard.

Floating Window

Pop the editor out into a floating Picture-in-Picture window so you can keep your notes visible while working in another app or tab.

  • True browser PiP — stays on top of other windows
  • Editable directly inside the floating view
  • Open with Ctrl+Shift+F

Fullscreen Mode

Enter a distraction-free fullscreen environment that hides the toolbar and tabs. A minimal floating bar appears on hover for quick formatting.

  • Toggle with F11 or Esc to exit
  • Hover-reveal floating toolbar
