StaxMD documentation #
StaxMD is the local-first Markdown editor in the StaxDash StaxSuite desktop
family. It runs as a standalone application (command staxmd) and is also
launched from the free StaxOffice launcher.
StaxMD is implemented and maintained in its own repository at https://github.com/StaxDash/staxmd.
Features #
- Local-first, no account — everything runs on your own machine; no telemetry.
- Live Markdown preview — Source, Preview, Split, and a Live overlay mode (Ctrl+1 … Ctrl+4).
- Autosave & crash recovery — the open session is persisted every 30s and on close, so unsaved documents survive a crash. The next launch restores your tabs, cursor positions, and active view.
- Recent files — File ▸ Recent Files lists recently opened/saved documents; clear it from the same menu.
- Session restore — reopens exactly the documents you had open, including untitled drafts.
- Export to HTML — File ▸ Export HTML (Ctrl+E) renders the current document to
a standalone
.htmlfile. - Theme & layout memory — light/dark theme, view mode, and window geometry are remembered between runs.
Status #
Current — StaxMD is functional and ships a standalone (PyInstaller) binary on tagged releases. See the StaxSuite overview and the organization roadmap for current status.
