What it is
Apostrophe is a Markdown editor for writing prose. Its window is a clean page with a focus mode that dims everything but the current sentence, a word and character count, and a live preview of the formatted text. Behind the scenes it uses Pandoc, so you can export to HTML, PDF, Word documents and other formats.
Why it’s here
- Room to write. Nothing on screen but your text, for essays, posts and drafts.
- Plain Markdown. Files are ordinary
.mdtext that any other tool can open. - Export anywhere. Pandoc turns a draft into a document in the format you need.
On CoreDesktop
CoreDesktop installs Apostrophe as a Flatpak from Flathub. Open it from the app grid, or open a Markdown file with it from Files. update keeps it current along with your other Flatpaks.
