What PrivMark renders

Standard markdown, plus math, diagrams, and syntax-highlighted code.

A quick tour

PrivMark supports bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, and links.

Headings and lists

Every heading level renders with the right visual weight, and lists nest cleanly:

  • Unordered lists with nested items
    • Like this sub-item
    • And this one
  • Task lists for checkboxes:
    • Ship the welcome document
    • File tree sidebar

Code

function hello(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

Blockquotes

Your documents are yours. PrivMark never sends your text anywhere.

Math and diagrams

LaTeX math rendered via KaTeX, and flow diagrams rendered via Mermaid — both live in the app:

E = mc² · ∫₀ e−x² dx = √π ⁄ 2 · Σi=1n i = n(n+1)/2

(math and diagrams are interactive and render in real time inside the editor)

Your writing. Your privacy.

Built by Wolfberry AB, a security-focused Swedish software company.

Max privacy mode

PrivMark only makes two network calls, both optional: a license activation (once, at first launch) and an update check (on launch, if enabled). For a fully offline experience:

  1. Activate your license once on any internet-connected machine — after that, PrivMark works fully offline.
  2. Disable automatic updates in Settings → Updates, or launch with privmark --no-auto-updates.
  3. Install and update manually by downloading releases directly from GitHub.

Security advisories

If you turn off automatic updates you still need a way to learn about security patches. PrivMark publishes them through three independent channels — pick whichever fits your workflow:

  1. GitHub Security Advisories (security-only) — github.com/wolfberry-ab/privmark/security/advisories. Watch this page or subscribe to it to be notified of any released advisory. This is the primary channel.
  2. Releases Atom feed (every release, not just security) — releases.atom. Higher noise but you'll never miss an update.
  3. Direct contacthello@privmark.app for reporting vulnerabilities or requesting clarification. We aim to acknowledge reports within 72 hours.

Machine-readable: /.well-known/security.txt follows RFC 9116.

Local AI writing — now shipping

Runs entirely on your machine via Ollama. No cloud, no account, no API keys. Your writing never leaves your computer.
