Welcome to Wander
Wander is a markdown editor that respects your files. Your notes are plain markdown in folders you control, no account needed, nothing locked in. What you type is what lands on disk, byte for byte.
This folder you're reading is a real Wander vault, rendered by the same editor your notes get. It is Wander's manual, so its pages are read-only: when you're ready to write, open a folder of your own and everything here works the same, plus the keyboard.
Start here
Getting Started, open a folder and start writing
Sync New, the same notes on every device through iCloud Drive or Dropbox
Wander Cloud, the optional account: history and comments across devices, pages at wander.md/you
Markdown Syntax, everything Wander reads and writes
Keyboard Shortcuts, move fast
Quick Capture, thoughts in from anywhere, sorted later
Changelog, the latest changes
Take the tour
The demo folder shows every surface, one page each:
demo/Formatting, bold, italic, headings, quotes
demo/Tables, a real table to reshape
demo/Tasks & Lists, checkboxes and nested lists
demo/Links & Wikilinks, jump between notes
demo/Diagrams, mermaid diagrams, drawn live
demo/Images, sizes, galleries, captions, video and audio
demo/Citations, references from this vault's refs.bib
demo/Data & CSV, a csv as a live grid, charts and queries
Your files stay yours
Everything here is a normal folder of .md files. Point Wander at your own folder, a notes directory, an Obsidian vault, a docs repo, and edit it the same way. Your git diffs stay clean.
Wander has an optional cloud, and optional means off until you sign in and switch it on for a vault. Until then nothing leaves this Mac. See Wander Cloud.
You can reopen these docs anytime from the ? button in the toolbar.
