Tinta is a native Windows Markdown reader and editor designed for fast document rendering without Electron or embedded browser engines. Built with C++, Direct2D, and DirectWrite, it delivers hardware-accelerated text rendering with minimal resource consumption. Users can read and edit Markdown documents with syntax highlighting, configurable word wrapping, and ten built-in themes. The application supports native Mermaid diagrams, LaTeX mathematical expressions, and citation management using BibTeX or CSL-JSON libraries. Its stylesheet system enables detailed document customization through CSS and compatible themes. Documents can be exported to HTML, Word, and PDF, with additional formats available through Pandoc. An infinite canvas organizes Markdown notes into connected visual cards. Tinta is available as a portable executable or through package managers and the Microsoft Store.
