Markdown Support
mymind accepts Markdown for notes and any text-based object. Input is parsed as CommonMark, with a small set of extensions.
CommonMark
Rendering and parsing follow the CommonMark specification. Non-significant whitespace is stripped on save.
Extensions
The following are mymind-specific extensions on top of CommonMark. They are always enabled.
Page links
[[Page Link]] creates a link to another object in your mind. The text inside the brackets is matched against object titles.
Pipe tables
Pipe | syntax creates tables with optional header row and column alignment.
| Format | Extension |

- [ ] and - [x] render as interactive task lists for incomplete and completed items.

Most content round-trips cleanly, but prose-specific features (custom blocks, rich formatting) have no Markdown equivalent — writing back as Markdown will drop them. To read and write without losing information, use the Prose format directly.
To translate between Markdown and Prose programmatically, use the Convert endpoint.
