About JotBird

JotBird publishes Markdown as a web page in a few clicks. You write in its editor or paste text from another app, preview how it will render, and click Publish to get a memorable, shareable URL. Pages can be updated or deleted later, and no account is needed to publish anonymously; the Markdown stays on your device until you publish.

Rendering goes past the basics, with highlighted code blocks, tables, footnotes, math notation and Mermaid diagrams. Pages are unlisted by default and can be made public and search-indexable, or password-protected with Pro. Images can be pasted, dragged or uploaded and are hosted until the page expires. Four themes are offered: Default, Terminal, Essay and Minimal, each suited to a type of page such as technical docs or long-form writing.

Publishing is free. The Pro plan costs $29 per year and adds permanent links, custom URLs and extra themes. The site also describes integrations and the ability to start from templates, and it has separate help pages for the Pro features.
