Calm by default. Yours by design.

A modern markdown toolkit

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

WYSIWYG with a real source mode

Type markdown and see it rendered inline. Drop into a full CodeMirror 6 source view whenever you need it. Switch anytime.

Customizable toolbar

Reshape the toolbar to match your workflow. Add, remove, and reorder buttons until it fits the way you actually work.

Command palette

Every action, one keystroke away. Press Ctrl+Shift+P, type, hit enter. Discover features as you need them.

Five themes, light & dark

Default, Sepia, Nord, and Rose Pine — each carefully tuned for both light and dark modes.

Rich content blocks

Visual tables, Mermaid diagrams, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, code blocks, and task lists. All native, all inline.

Focus & typewriter modes

Fade everything but the current line. Lock the cursor to the center of the screen when you want to go deep.

Whether you’re shipping prompts, writing specs, maintaining docs, or drafting prose — Pennivo gets out of the way and shapes to fit.
