Getting started

Use File → Open File… for a Markdown or plain-text document, or File → Open Folder… to browse a folder.
Edit directly in Live Preview. Pagewing supports CommonMark, GFM, tables, task lists, math, Mermaid, PlantUML, images, and inline HTML.
Autosave is enabled by default. Use File → Export for HTML or PDF, or use the macOS print workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Does Pagewing require an account or cloud workspace?

No. Documents remain ordinary files and folders on your Mac.

Which file formats are supported?

Primary formats include .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, .mkdown, .rmd, .txt, and .text.

What happens when another app changes the open file?

Pagewing asks whether to reload the version on disk or keep the editor version and continue.

Can Pagewing recover work after an unexpected exit?

Pagewing checks its local recovery buffer and offers recoverable content when available.

Do PlantUML and remote images use the network?

Yes. Remote images load from their source servers, and PlantUML uses the server configured in Settings. Use a server you trust for confidential diagrams.

Troubleshooting

Remote image does not refresh: choose View → Reload Images.
The file on disk was removed or is inaccessible: use File → Save As… to save the editor copy elsewhere.
A document cannot be saved: check destination-folder permission and available disk space.
An external change is detected: explicitly choose the disk version or editor version instead of overwriting both.
Before reporting a problem, reproduce it with the smallest non-private sample and include version details and exact steps.

Privacy

Pagewing has no analytics or advertising, and documents stay local by default. See the Pagewing Privacy Policy for remote resources, PlantUML, update checks, and other exceptions.
