Get it onGoogle PlayWhat is Markdown Studio?
Markdown Studio is an Android app for reading and writing the documents already on your phone. Markdown notes, EPUB books and PDFs open in one app, with no advertising, nothing to sign up for and nothing uploaded.
Point it at the folders you already use and it shows what is in them. Files are not copied into a private library or moved anywhere else. They stay exactly where they are, and your edits are saved straight back to them.
What Markdown Studio does
Markdown, rendered properly
GitHub-flavoured Markdown with headings, tables, task lists, footnotes, block quotes, links and images. Code blocks are coloured by language, maths is typeset as real equations, and a contents panel jumps between headings in long documents.
Especially good with AI chat exports
Notes saved from AI chat tools often arrive with equations mangled into a tangle of symbols and source text. Markdown Studio repairs the common cases so they render as the formula they were meant to be, and emoji, arrows and symbols display as they did originally.
An editor that keeps the Markdown visible
Headings look like headings and bold looks bold as you type, while every #, * and ` stays on screen. A toolbar handles formatting, changes save automatically, and if another app edits the same file, Markdown Studio asks which version to keep instead of overwriting it.
EPUB books that read like books
A paginated reader: swipe or tap the page edges to turn, and move from chapter to chapter without hunting for a button. Pictures and cover plates are shown, and the text stays selectable.
PDFs that open where you left them
PDFs open at their true size with page thumbnails, text search, the document's own outline, and colour inversion for reading at night. Password-protected files are supported.
Eight reading themes
Paper, Sepia, Solar, Dim, Black, Contrast, Nord and Terminal, applied to Markdown and EPUB alike, with adjustable text size and line spacing and a choice of serif, sans-serif or monospace type.
Export to PDF, on your phone
Turn a Markdown document into a searchable PDF without it ever leaving your device, choosing the page size, margins, an optional table of contents and page numbers. This is part of Pro.
A library that keeps your place
Keep several folders, switch between list and grid, search the folder you are in, and sort or filter by type. Each file shows how far through it you are, and every document reopens exactly where you left it.
No ads, anywhere
No banners, no interstitials, nothing sponsored, and no watching a video to continue. The app is paid for by the people who choose to buy Pro.
