Features

A tour of the writing surface and what makes Binderus feel different. Every feature here works with plain Markdown files — no proprietary format, no lock-in.

The editor

Live preview without split panes. Markdown renders inline as you type, so what you see is what you get — no second editor pane fighting for attention.

Slash commands

Type / at the start of a new line to bring up the command palette. Insert headings, code blocks, callouts, tables, embeds, and more — all without taking your hands off the keyboard.

Wiki links & backlinks

Use [[Note Title]] to link to another note. Every note shows its incoming backlinks at the bottom, so you can see who references you. Unlinked mentions are detected too.

Organize your notes

Folders and tags

Use folders for the strict hierarchy, tags (#topic) for cross-cutting themes. Pick whichever model fits your brain — Binderus doesn't force you into one.

Search

Full-text search across every note in your vault. Results highlight matches inline. Cmd K opens it from anywhere.

Media & embeds

Image links

Drop an image into a note — Binderus saves it to a configurable folder and inserts the link. Images render inline in the editor.

Code blocks

Triple-backtick blocks with syntax highlighting for 100+ languages. Specify the language after the opening fence:

```python
def hello():
    print("Hello, Binderus")
```

Local-first & private

Your notes live as plain .md files on your disk. There's no proprietary database, no cloud lock-in, no analytics on your content. Pair Binderus with iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or git — whatever sync you trust.
