Does mymind support markdown?

Yes! mymind supports Markdown shortcuts, which let you format your notes as you write, as well as Markdown file imports.

Markdown Shortcuts

You can use markdown shortcuts to save time while writing a Note in your mind.

We currently support these Markdown shortcuts:

Full-block commands

• [ ] with a space between and followed by a space to create an uncompleted todo
• [x] followed by a space to create a completed todo
• ``` followed by a space to create a code block

Inline commands

• Wrap words between ` and ` for inline code
• Wrap words between ** and ** or type CMD + B to make them bold
• Wrap words between * and * or _ and _ (or type CMD + I) to make them italic
• Wrap words between ~~ and ~~ to make them strikethrough
• Wrap text between  == and == to make it highlighted
• # followed by a space to create a title
• ## followed by a space to create a subtitle
• ### to create a secondary subtitle

If you forget the markdown, you can find it in the bottom left corner of "focus mode".

Importing Markdown Files

As of September 30, 2025, you can currently drag and drop or paste .md files straight into your mind.

mymind will not ignore any parts of a markdown file it does not currently support (such as images) and import all the rest. The exception is files that contain bi-directional links from a tool like Obsidian: the file will not be able to display in your mind.
