Metion - Notes for Writing

Metion is a notebook tool that focuses on the writing experience, uses Markdown as basic text syntax. Metion CARES about the freedom of data and based on the open filesystem, and how the text is presented to your readers are very important too. ## Pretty and Useful Widgets On iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, you can add a "writing statistics" widget to see the status of what you have written in the last 7 days or one year. Especially the whole year's writing statistics, for those who persist in writing, is not only a microcosm of their efforts, but also a kind of daily motivation to keep writing. ## Build Your Own Knowledge Base Metion 2.0 brings a new feature named "Knowledge Base", plaintext syntax in lines, then become mindmap trees, or connected as a network... ## The Writing Experience is So Important Our goal is to create a consistent writing experience to the Mac platform, but it wasn't easy. Metion provides a relatively complete keyboard shortcuts support. After a keyboard connected, both iPad and iPhone can obtain a great improvement in writing experience. Besides the shortcuts displayed when the Command key long pressed, there are some other useful ones, like Tab and Shift+Tab, the Tab key even can automatically move the cursor one-step back over some key characters, making writing as hands-free as possible. In the process of creating Metion, we also discovered the unique experience of the iPad, which is different from the Mac, and even the writing experience sometimes transcends the desktop level. To this end, we redesigned the "Zen Mode" on iPad for more focusing on writing. It is very beautiful, choosing a suitable background, selecting the white noise in Zen Mode, and the irrelevant UI elements are hidden. Focus on writing, writing is really a pleasure. ## Data Freedom, Open Filesystem, Git Built-in Metion based on the open filesystem of iCloud, no need to create new format for storing data. An article is a plain text file, and the images in the article are also under a certain folder. Data freedom and open filesystems allow us to synchronize data across devices using iCloud. If you have a higher requirement for data security, you can also make a backup very quickly by copying the entire folder (work folder). One thing more, Metion has a built-in support named "history version" that provides a little more reliability for your documents. ** Also, if you know how to use Git, you can try Git syncing in Metion. Yes! We have the powerful Git as a built-in feature! ** ## Optimized for iPad Pro, Also for iPhone We tried the best to make Metion optimized for iPad Pro, making it a more productive device in the field of text writing. Metion is also optimized for the iPhone. In recent years, most of the new iPhones have notch at the top of screen. Metion does not simply avoid the safe area, but makes a lot of technical efforts to apply every pixel on the screen as far as possible. If using the visual theme of "Dark", the notch sometimes look like disappeared, and the next generation of full-screen phone comes. ## The Exporting of Metion If using Metion to export as PDF, we suggest the theme of PDF can be set as "Printer" in Settings Panel. If there is a real printer connected in current local network, just directly print it, it will be pretty when words on the real paper. Document in Metion can be exported as image, which is optimized for mobile device (iPhone). We can set text and QR-Code signature at the end of exported image. Send it to friends though some social apps. The beautiful layout of text can highlight the value of your words. Metion can automatically analyze the current articles, especially those with strong structure. It can be exported as "Mindmap" with one tap only. - - - - - - - - - - Privacy Policy: https://www.markdown.app/metion-privacy-policy.html Terms of Usage: https://www.markdown.app/page/metion_tou.md
