LinkEdit is a local-first personal knowledge manager (PKM) for Markdown notes. Point it to any folder in the Files app and work directly with your existing files—no lock-in, no proprietary database. Create permanent, auto-updating links between notes. Links work in both directions, so your knowledge stays connected as files move or are renamed.

Version 1.4.2 • Feb 9, 2026
NEW • Create notes and folders faster with a new plus button on the first screen. • “What’s New” sheet. • Updated to support the latest OS version. FIXES • The editor not updating when changing the selected note on iPad and visionOS. • Custom font size not being applied to newly typed text. • Restore Defaults now also resets the default font size. • Drag and drop. • Editor not becoming active after adding a new note, which prevented typing. • "Open in New Window" context menu command. • A state restoration bug when LinkEdit launches with no visible windows on visionOS. KNOWN ISSUES • Drag and drop for folders is only supported on Mac. Note: Opening LinkEdit settings and pressing “Restore Defaults” will migrate your Themes to the new internal format. This is recommended at your convenience. Changing each default colour will also work.
