Writing
An editor that steps back
Most editors ask for attention before you have written anything. Madrid puts the page first and keeps its controls close to the text you are working on.
The page, then the tools
There is no toolbar along the top of the window. Formatting lives where you are typing, so a note looks like a document rather than a control panel.
Headings, lists, task lists, quotes, tables, and code blocks are all here. Code blocks highlight the language you are writing, and a Mermaid block renders a diagram in place.
Things you drop in stay put
Drag a PDF into a note and it lands at the caret, previewable without leaving the page. Images work the same way, and a link on its own line becomes a small preview card instead of a bare URL.
Attachments sit in private storage tied to your account, served through short-lived links rather than public URLs.
Details you notice on the second day
- The view stays where you put it
- Scroll away from the caret and the page stays there. Background work never yanks you back mid-thought.
- Today, without a streak
- Mod+D opens today's note, titled with today's date. Nothing counts how many days in a row you managed it.
- Capture, not ghostwriting
- Record a thought and Madrid turns it into text in the note. It transcribes what you said; it does not write in your voice.
