About Markor
Markor is a lightweight text editor for Android aimed at notes and to-do lists. It edits Markdown, todo.txt, Zim, plain text and math, working directly with files on the device rather than a proprietary database.
That makes it a good fit for people who keep notes as plain files and sync the folder with another tool. The project has over two thousand commits and a maintained changelog.
