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

New: sort your notes by creation date. The sort menu now has Newest created first and Oldest created first, ordered by when a note was first made, so editing an old note never moves it.
