Simplenote
Free, lightweight notes with markdown preview on every platform.
Simplenote, made by Automattic (the WordPress company), is a free note app focused on speed and simplicity: plain-text notes with tags, instant sync, version history, and collaboration.
Enable markdown on any note and it gains a rendered preview and publishes to a shareable link. Apps cover every major platform, and the entire service is free.
