🔒

Files never leave your computer

🗂️

No vault, no workspace

Nothing to import, nothing to move in to. Files stay where they are; Anymark writes a plain .md beside the original and never touches it.

Features

Built for the documents people actually send you

PDFs become structure, not soup

A PDF stores positioned letters, not paragraphs. Anymark rebuilds the reading order across columns, re-joins paragraphs, finds the headings, lists and links, and keeps tables as tables: ruled grids, tables with horizontal rules only, and tables with no rules at all.

  • Column alignment, bold labels and totals kept
  • Centred and right-aligned paragraphs stay that way
  • Pictures, logos, stamps and signatures saved beside the file
A PDF annual report converted to Markdown with headings, a bulleted list and a sales table

Scans and photographed pages, read offline

Built-in OCR with no internet needed. English is included and twenty more languages can be added from the menu. Sheets fed in sideways or upside down are turned the right way, show-through and ruling lines are cleaned away, and the result keeps its paragraphs, headings, lists and tables.

  • Forms drawn as a picture with typed entries are rebuilt from both layers
  • Fillable PDF forms keep what was typed, ticked and chosen
  • Barcodes, stamps and signatures are kept as pictures
A sideways scan of meeting minutes converted to editable text

Spreadsheets and slide decks, one section per sheet or slide

Excel files keep their displayed values, number and date formats and merged cells; hidden rows, columns and sheets are skipped. PowerPoint decks become one section per slide with the title, bullets, tables and speaker notes.

  • Several tables on one sheet are found separately
  • Merged cells survive editing and are written back
  • CSV and TSV open as a table, values exactly as written

Colour, highlight and the rest of the Format menu

Mark a sentence in yellow, turn a warning red, add a heading, a list or a link, and switch to the Markdown source with one key to see exactly what will be saved. Colour and highlight are stored as the small bits of inline HTML every Markdown reader understands.

  • Find and Replace across the whole document, undoable
  • Print, Print Preview and Export as PDF
  • Word count, recent files, drag and drop
Project notes with yellow highlights, red and green text, task lists and budget tables

Convert a whole folder at once

Point Anymark at a folder and it converts everything in it, subfolders included. Output beside the originals or mirrored into another folder, with skip, replace or keep-both rules, a progress bar and a report of what was done. The same engine is on the command line for scripts.

  • anymark --convert report.doc > report.md
  • anymark --batch ./docs --out ./markdown
  • Pictures saved in a folder beside each file, or embedded
A Word operations review converted to Markdown with headings, lists and a results table
