A local markdown editor for the notes you share with AI.
marka.md keeps notes on your own machine and opens them as ordinary Markdown files. Editing offers live preview, a reading mode, themes and diagrams, so a note can be written, reviewed and presented in the same window.
Context bundles collect the notes an AI assistant should see for a task, which is the workflow the editor is organised around: keep the material local, then hand over exactly the context a model needs.
