Welcome to TreeMk

TreeMk is an integrated Markdown editor and file explorer that works directly with your file system. No proprietary vaults, no import/export hassles—just your files, organized your way, right where they already are.

Why TreeMk?

Your notes and documents are valuable. They shouldn't be locked inside a proprietary vault or database. TreeMk respects this by working directly with standard Markdown files in your file system. You maintain full control—edit with other tools, sync with any service, backup however you prefer.

TreeMk simply provides the tools to make working with these files more pleasant: wiki-style linking, live preview, full-text search, and intelligent organization—all without moving your files anywhere.
