A Markdown doc app,
not a Markdown-flavored WYSIWYG.

Real-time collab. AI Author with surgical edits, not chat. A public REST API for Zapier and n8n. Your bytes stay yours — every doc exports to .md verbatim.

Why this exists.

The tools you already have — and why they don't quite work for the docs that aren't code.

In your code editor

Markdown source is great. Markdown rendered is a postage stamp in a preview pane that nobody on your team wants to read.

In sweetdocs

The same Markdown, rendered as a real document. ⌘E toggles back to source when you want it. Same .md round-trip in and out.

On GitHub

Issues and READMEs render fine. But there's no folder, no doc-level permissions, no real comments, no draft state.

In sweetdocs

Folders, ACLs, comments anchored to selections, autosaved drafts, version history. Public links for stakeholders who don't have GitHub accounts.

In Notion

You agreed to write the RFC in Notion because the PMs use it. You hate every keystroke. The markdown export is lossy.

In sweetdocs

Markdown-native source. Imports your existing Notion .md exports cleanly. PMs get the same shareable link.

What earns the upgrade.

The features built specifically for the way developers write docs.

API

Programmatic CRUD.

Create docs, organize folders, search content, fetch by id. Personal + org scopes. 10K calls / mo on Pro, 100K on Teams.

Code blocks

Real syntax, sane defaults.

Slash menu opens a code block in any language. Round-trips through Markdown unchanged. JetBrains Mono.

Color swatches

Hex literals render with a chip.

Designer detail nobody else does. Useful for design RFCs, brand docs, and the occasional 4:00am theme debate.

Collaboration

CRDT-backed cursors.

Two people on the same doc → no conflicts, no merge dialogs. Y.js under the hood.

Export

.md verbatim, always.

What you wrote is what you take out. No proprietary blob format.

AI Author

Surgical edits, not chat.

str_replace / insert_after / append / full_rewrite tools. Diff preview. Accept or discard.

Start free. Upgrade when the API or quota matters.

No credit card. 25 documents free, forever.
