Flow Diagram turns a messy photo or a quick sketch into a diagram you can edit, share and keep
All apps
A native Markdown editor for Mac, iPhone, and iPad — with live Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, and GFM tables, no cloud required.
Clearly renders as you type: Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX equations, and GitHub-Flavored Markdown tables all show live in the preview pane, not just after export. It's a genuinely native Swift app across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, sharing the same document format everywhere without a subscription or account.
Why it makes the list
Most Markdown editors that support diagrams and math do it through a web view wrapping a JavaScript renderer. Clearly does the same rendering natively, which means it stays fast and consistent across every Apple device it runs on — write a diagram on your Mac, open the same file on your iPad, and it looks identical.

- Live Mermaid diagram rendering inline in the preview
- KaTeX math rendering for equations and formulas
- Full GFM table support, rendered live as you type
- Native on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, same document format everywhere
- No cloud dependency — files stay wherever you put them
- No subscription — free to use across all your devices
