About

Minidocs is a native Mac app that turns one Markdown source into finished PDFs, slide decks, and HTML.

Write in a clean editor. See the final document live. Export when it's ready. The preview and the export use the same render — what you see is what you ship.

Built for:

  • Writing papers, reports, and lecture notes in one source

  • Engineering RFCs, specs, and API docs with code and diagrams

  • Product PRDs, proposals, and decision docs

  • Slide decks that export to PDF from the same Markdown

What's in the box:

  • Live editor with paginated preview that matches the export

  • Export to PDF, slide deck, or HTML from the same Markdown

  • LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, syntax-highlighted code, tables, and images

  • Theme controls for fonts, spacing, page size, and color, per project

  • Cover pages, page numbers, and footnotes built in

  • Originality watermark, opt-in per document, embeds a verifiable record in exports for academic use

  • Document history with restore points

  • Project-folder layout: every document is plain files on disk, readable in any text editor

Storage and trust:

  • No account. No subscription. No analytics.

  • iCloud Drive sync when available, or This Mac only when you prefer local

  • 7-day free trial, all features included. After the trial, writing and preview stay free forever. PDF export unlocks with a one-time $14.99 purchase.

  • Buy it once. Every version we ever ship is yours.

  • No Minidocs server. Your work stays where you put it.
