Everything you write.
Markdown is best for notes. LaTeX is best for documents. Deft is both.

Notes.
Markdown notes that render as you write them, link to each other with [[wiki links]], and save as files any other app can open. No export step, no proprietary wrapper around your own writing.
-
Markdown, in full.
Tables, footnotes, task lists, highlights and math, rendered as you write them.
-
Tasks and bookmarks.
Every to-do box in the folder grouped by the note it came from. Bookmarks with the resolution of a character.
Documents.
LaTeX with no compromises. Your own preamble, your own packages, and a real PDF at the end of it, compiled by Tectonic bundled inside Deft or by the TeX installation you already have.
-
Still your
.tex.Deft works with plain-text files. It never rewrites your documents into something else.
-
A real PDF.
PDF generated by Tectonic or your preferred LaTeX engine.
Yours to keep.
Your notes are Markdown and your papers are LaTeX. Both are plain text in a folder you picked, on a disk you own, readable by anything, now or long after you have stopped using Deft.
-
Plain files.
Markdown and
.texin a folder you chose. Nothing else is needed to read them. -
No account.
Nothing to sign up for. Deft never asks who you are.
