Why writers and developers choose Amber

Most markdown editors give you a text box and a preview pane. Amber goes further. The editor ships with six handcrafted dark themes — Amber, Emerald, Rose, Sapphire, Lavender, and Slate — so you can write in an environment that feels personal, not generic. Every theme is designed for extended sessions with carefully balanced contrast and color.

Four view modes let you work however you prefer: a focused editor-only mode for distraction-free writing, a split view with side-by-side preview, a live WYSIWYG mode where you edit the rendered output directly, and a read-only preview for reviewing your work. Switch between them instantly with the command palette (⌘K).

Amber supports full GitHub Flavored Markdown including tables, task lists, and syntax-highlighted code blocks. Need diagrams? Write Mermaid syntax and see flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and Gantt charts render in real time. When you're done, export to a styled PDF with one click — headers, code blocks, tables, and diagrams all render cleanly.

The built-in journal feature creates dated entries for daily writing, meeting notes, or personal reflection. Folders keep your documents organized as your collection grows. And because everything runs in your browser with local storage, your data stays on your device. No cloud sync, no server, no tracking. Just a markdown editor that respects your time and your privacy.
