A shared Markdown editor for people and AI agents
easymd is a free tool for editing Markdown files together in real time while an AI agent can read and change the same file. It works like a shared document editor, but the result remains a real .md file on disk. Changes sync back to the file directly, which helps avoid the gap between an old pasted copy and the current working document.
It supports live cursors and CRDT sync so multiple edits can happen without . A lets an agent read, create, and update the same documents people are editing, with changes appearing live on both sides. Markdown can also use fewer tokens than HTML, DOCX, or PDF when sending context to AI models.
The example start command is `npx easymd open `.
