Frequently asked questions about Quiline

Short, direct answers about privacy, offline use, Markdown files, and what Quiline is and is not built to do.

Is Quiline free?

Yes. Quiline is free to use and does not require an account, subscription, or credit card.

Does Quiline work offline?

Yes, after the editor has loaded once. Quiline can be installed as a PWA and uses local browser storage for documents.

Where are Quiline documents stored?

Documents are stored in IndexedDB in the browser where you write them. Quiline does not provide a server-side document store.

Does Quiline require a signup?

No. Open the editor and start writing without creating an account.

Can I save Markdown files to my computer?

Yes. Quiline uses the browser file picker and File System Access API where supported, with a download fallback in other browsers.

Does Quiline have live preview?

Yes. Quiline renders Markdown in a live preview and provides split, editor-only, and preview-only views.

Can I share a Quiline document?

Yes. A read-only share link keeps the document data in the URL fragment rather than uploading it to a Quiline server.

Does Quiline support tables?

Yes. Quiline inserts and edits standard Markdown pipe tables using a keyboard-friendly grid.

Does Quiline support dark mode?

Yes. Quiline supports light and dark themes, respects the system preference by default, and remembers a manual selection.

Can I change typography in Quiline?

Yes. Settings include line length, line height, and font-pairing controls for more comfortable writing and reading.

Is Quiline a collaborative editor?

No. Quiline is a single-person Markdown editor; it does not offer accounts, shared workspaces, or real-time collaboration.

Does Quiline sync to GitHub or Google Drive?

No. Quiline is local-first and does not include cloud synchronization. Save a Markdown file when you want it outside the browser.

What browsers support Quiline file saving?

Browsers with the File System Access API can open and save a selected file directly. Other browsers can use the download fallback.

Does Quiline send my text to a server?

Quiline has no backend document service. Local documents stay in the browser, and shared-link document data is kept in the URL fragment.

Is Quiline a replacement for Obsidian or Typora?

It solves a narrower problem: fast, private Markdown writing in a browser. Choose a desktop app or knowledge base when their file management, plugin, graph, or export features matter.

Still have a blank page?

Quiline is quicker to try than to describe.
