Write Markdown without handing over your writing.

Quiline is a free, private Markdown editor that runs in your browser. Build tables in a visual grid, paste a selection straight from Excel or Google Sheets, and add links without typing a single bracket. Drafts auto-save locally, work offline after the first load, and never require an account.

The Quiline editor in split view: Markdown source on the left, rendered preview on the right, document list on the far left.

Copy a table out of Excel. Paste it as Markdown.

No converter site, no upload, no counting pipes. The spreadsheet clipboard is recognised in the editor and the selection opens in a grid you can correct before it lands.

Selecting rows in Excel, pasting into Quiline, and inserting the table. Nine rows and six columns, no Markdown typed by hand.

How Markdown tables work

A browser editor built for one person and their words

Quiline is intentionally not a workspace, social network, or cloud drive. It is a calm writing surface that keeps the essentials close.

Private by default

Documents and settings live in this browser’s IndexedDB. No account, server-side document store, or tracking dashboard is needed to start writing.

Tables without counting pipes

Insert and re-edit Markdown tables in a visual grid, then let Quiline write the aligned pipe syntax. See the Markdown table guide for the shortcuts.

Paste a table from Excel or Sheets

Copy a range in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers and paste it into the editor. Quiline recognises the spreadsheet clipboard and converts the selection into a Markdown table instead of a wall of tabs.

Links and images, no syntax recall

Ctrl+K turns a selection into a link, and images can be dropped or pasted in. Quiline writes portable Markdown, never an editor-only scheme that breaks elsewhere.

Live preview that follows you

Write Markdown on one side and read the rendered result on the other, with proportionate scroll sync when you need both.

Offline after first load

Install Quiline as a PWA and keep editing without a connection. Your local drafts remain available when the network is not.

Style it to suit your eyes

Light and dark themes, font pairings, line length, line height, plus focus and typewriter modes. The reading surface is yours to tune, and the choice is remembered.

Read the draft aloud

Play the selection or the rest of the document through your browser's own speech synthesis, at a pace you set. Quiline speaks the rendered prose, so no asterisks or table pipes, and skips code blocks.

Save real files, share without uploading

Open and save Markdown files with the browser’s file APIs, or create a read-only link whose document data stays in the URL fragment, which browsers never send to a server.

Choose the tool for the job

Quiline is for private, single-person browser writing. Other editors may be a better fit when you need desktop files, a knowledge graph, or cloud collaboration.
