Ledge:
Your Markdown Planner
Ledge uses Markdown to keep your planning frictionless. Unlike productivity tools that trap your data in proprietary formats, Markdown lets you format schedules and organize ideas using simple keystrokes, so you never have to take your hands off the keyboard. Because everything is stored as plain text, you actually own your work. You aren't locked into a closed ecosystem—your files remain universally portable and completely future-proof.
Your files are your own. Why give them to anyone else? With Ledge, you own your files and use on-device capabilities so that your information never leaves your control. Plus, its pretty easy on the eyes.
Markdown is a simple way to format text using basic keyboard symbols instead of clicking through menus. It lets you write and format instantly without taking your hands off the keyboard.
Headers: Type # Monday to create a large section header.
Tasks: Type - [x] Email client to generate a checked task box.
