With iOS 26, Apple is introducing a new feature to the Notes app that's especially interesting for people who regularly work with structured text. For the first time, Markdown files can be directly imported and exported. This closes a gap that many people previously had to overcome with external tools or third-party apps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markdown is a simple, plain-text syntax that gives text structure and formatting with just a few characters. Symbols like # for headings or ** for bold are standard and allow a document to be used both as plain text and as a neatly formatted file. In iOS 26, Apple has integrated this feature directly into the Notes app. This creates a connection between classic notes and the flexibility of Markdown, without the need for additional conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markdown support in Apple Notes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The implementation in iOS 26 works both ways. Markdown files can be imported while retaining formatting such as headings, links, or lists. Likewise, content from notes can be exported as Markdown files for further use in text editors, content management systems, or documentation tools. It's important to note that Apple Notes doesn't display Markdown syntax while you're writing. Within the app, the display remains as usual in rich text. The conversion only occurs during import or export, so the Markdown elements are only visible when the file is opened outside of the Notes app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
