Why MDVI

The editor Markdown deserved.

IMG

Paste images inline

Drop or paste a picture straight into the text. It renders inline, right where your cursor is, no upload dialogs, no detours.

VIM

Vim mode on a button

Flip modal editing on with a single toggle. hjkl, operators, and registers when you want them, plain typing when you do not.

SPL

Live split preview

Source on the left, rendered Markdown on the right. The center divider lights up so you know it is yours to grab and drag.

TGL

Image as text or picture

Right-click any image and toggle 'Hide as Markdown Text' or 'Show as Image'. Flip between raw syntax and the rendered picture instantly.

TPL

Insert templates

A dropdown of templates that drop in at the end of the document. Edit the ones you have or save new ones in a click.

THM

Auto, light, dark, system

The whole editor reskins from one theme set. Follow the system, or pin it light or dark. Classy, sharp, easy on the eyes.

Split preview

A divider you can actually grab.

Source and rendered output sit side by side. The bar in the middle lights up to signal it is interactive, so you can slide the balance toward writing or toward reading in one drag.

  • › Smooth, snap-free dragging
  • › Lit handle shows it is grabbable
  • › Collapse either pane to focus
