# Field Notes — Spring 2026

A short journal kept between airports.

## Tuesday

The clouds were doing that thing where
they look painted on. I wrote *most of*
this in the lounge.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Markdown Writer free?
Yes — completely free, with no signup, no limits, and no upsell. The whole editor lives in your browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page has loaded, the editor runs entirely on your device. Documents save to your browser's local storage, so closing the tab — or losing your connection — won't lose your work.
Does it support LaTeX math?
Yes. Inline math like E = mc^2 and display blocks render with KaTeX, the same engine used by many academic publishers.
Is anything I write sent to your servers?
Only if you choose to publish. By default every document stays in your browser's local storage and is never uploaded. Publishing is a deliberate action behind the Publish button: it uploads that one document and gives you a read-only link you can share. Published pages are not indexed by search engines, and you can unpublish at any time.
