Response time: I am a solo developer with a day job; I try to reply within 3 business days.
Q: Does the app upload my documents anywhere?
No. The app makes zero outbound network requests. All your Markdown files stay on your Mac. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Q: Where are my documents stored by default?
Inside the app's sandbox container:
~/Library/Containers/com.graycat.stickymd/Data/Documents/GrayCatStickyMD/.
You can also Save As to any location you choose.
Q: Why doesn't a local image show up when I paste into WeChat / Toutiao / Zhihu?
For WeChat Official Account and Toutiao: switch the Publishing Mode selector (top of the preview pane) to "WeChat" or "Toutiao" before clicking Copy. In those modes, local images are embedded as base64 data URLs so the target platform can re-host them on its own CDN after paste.
For Zhihu: the copy path is raw Markdown text; data URLs are not supported by Zhihu's Markdown parser. You'll need to re-upload images using Zhihu's own image upload button in the editor after pasting.
Q: How do I bring the window to the front from another app?
Press ⌘ Shift M (Cmd+Shift+M) from anywhere. If that shortcut is already taken by another app, click the mdEdit icon in the menu bar instead.
Q: Where are my recently opened files listed?
Two places, synchronized: the menu-bar icon → "Recent" submenu, and File → Open Recent in the main menu. Up to 8 most recent files.
Q: The app asks me about file permissions every time I open a file.
That's macOS's App Sandbox protecting your files. When you open a file via File → Open, the app persists a security-scoped bookmark so the same file can be reopened on restart without re-asking. If the file is moved or renamed, you'll be asked again.
Q: How do I change the editor font size?
⌘ = to enlarge, ⌘ - to shrink, ⌘ 0 to reset. Range is 12–22 px. Setting is remembered across launches.
Q: Can I write in Chinese / Japanese? Does word count work for them?
Yes. UI is available in Chinese, English, and Japanese. Word count correctly handles CJK characters: it counts Chinese/Japanese characters individually plus English words when mixed.
Q: How do I export as PDF?
Press ⌘ E or use File → Export PDF. A native save panel asks where to write the file. Rendering is fully offline — no network needed.
Q: What's the difference between Standard copy and Publishing Mode copy?
Standard mode's Cmd+C on selected preview text: universal HTML + plain text clipboard (pastes perfectly into Mail, Pages, Lark, Outlook, etc.). Publishing Mode's "Copy" button (top-right of preview): platform-tuned output targeting Zhihu, Toutiao, or WeChat specifically. Use Publishing Mode when you're about to paste into one of those three platforms; use Standard mode for everything else.
Q: Is the app open source?
Not at this time. If that's important to you, let me know via email.
Q: Will there be an iOS / iPadOS version?
Not planned. mdEdit is deliberately a macOS desktop tool. If you need mobile Markdown, there are excellent apps on iOS already.
Q: How do I report a bug?

Q: Can I request a feature?
Yes — same email. I can't promise every request will make it in, but I read everything.

回复时效：我是独立开发者，有本职工作，争取 3 个工作日内回复。
问：这个 App 会把我的文档上传到某个服务器吗？
不会。App 不发起任何网络请求。所有 Markdown 文件都留在你的 Mac 上。详见 隐私政策。
问：默认文档存在哪？
App 沙盒容器内：
~/Library/Containers/com.graycat.stickymd/Data/Documents/GrayCatStickyMD/。
你也可以"另存为"到任意位置。
问：为什么我插入的本地图片，粘到公众号 / 头条号 / 知乎后看不到？
公众号 / 头条号：复制之前，把预览区顶部的发布模式切换器调到"公众号"或"头条号"再点复制。 这两个模式会把本地图片转成 base64 data URL 嵌入剪贴板 HTML，粘到平台后由平台自动 re-host 到其 CDN。
知乎：复制走的是 Markdown 纯文本通道，知乎的 Markdown 解析器不支持 data URL。 粘到知乎后需要用知乎自己的图片上传按钮补图。
问：怎么从别的 App 把窗口唤起到前台？
按 ⌘ Shift M（Cmd+Shift+M）。如果该快捷键被别的 App 占用，可以点菜单栏右侧的 mdEdit 图标。
问：最近文件在哪看？
两处（同步）：菜单栏图标 → "最近" 子菜单；主菜单 File → Open Recent。最多 8 条。
问：怎么调字号？
⌘ = 放大、⌘ - 缩小、⌘ 0 重置。 范围 12–22 px，重启保持。
问：导出 PDF 怎么操作？
⌘ E 或菜单 File → Export PDF。弹原生保存对话框选路径。完全离线渲染。
问：标准模式的 Cmd+C 和发布模式的"复制"按钮有什么区别？
标准模式 Cmd+C（在预览区选中文字后）：通用富文本复制，粘到邮件、Pages、飞书、Word 都完美。
发布模式"复制"按钮（预览区右上角）：针对知乎/头条号/公众号专门调过的复制结果。
要发到这三个平台就用发布模式，其他场景用标准模式。
