Scriptum is made by one person. Questions, bug reports, and feature requests all reach him directly.
Email is the only support channel. Replies usually arrive within two business days.
To get a useful answer on the first reply, include:
The manual covers the whole app in one page: view modes, keyboard shortcuts, workspaces, themes, export, presentation mode, math, Mermaid diagrams, and GitHub alerts. Most how-do-I questions are answered there, and it is searchable with Cmd + F.
| Platform | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Mac | macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Apple silicon or Intel. |
| iPhone and iPad | iOS or iPadOS 26.5 or later. |
| Sync between devices | Optional. Needs the same Apple Account signed in to iCloud Drive on both devices. |
No. Scriptum is a universal purchase. Buying it once unlocks it on Mac, iPhone, and iPad for the same Apple Account.
In whatever folder you saved them to. Scriptum edits ordinary Markdown files in place and never copies them into a hidden container. If you delete Scriptum, your documents stay exactly where they are.
On the Mac, open Settings and turn on Sync to iPhone. It is off until you turn it on. Documents you open on the Mac are then copied to your own iCloud Drive, where the iPhone app picks them up. Both devices need the same Apple Account signed in to iCloud Drive.
You can also skip sync entirely and open a Markdown file on the phone straight from Files, Mail, or any app's share sheet.
No. The library starts empty because there is nothing in it yet. Turn on sync on the Mac, or open a Markdown file from Files or a share sheet, and it will appear.
Not in this version. The iPhone and iPad app is a reader. It renders your documents with the same engine as the Mac preview, including math, Mermaid diagrams, and syntax highlighting, but writing happens on the Mac.
.md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, .mkdn, and .txt.
Standalone HTML export links to the KaTeX and Mermaid libraries on a public CDN, so that file needs a connection the first time a browser opens it. If you need something that works with no network at all, export to PDF instead, which bakes everything in.
Refunds go through Apple, not through the developer. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple Account, and choose Scriptum.
Send it. Scriptum is actively developed and a good part of what is in it started as an email from someone using it.
If something is reproducibly wrong, the fastest path to a fix is a recipe. Send the shortest Markdown document that shows the problem, the exact steps, and what you saw. Attach the file itself rather than pasting it if the formatting matters, since mail clients tend to rewrite Markdown.
Crashes are worth reporting even without steps. On the Mac, macOS offers to send a crash report to Apple, and a copy is in Console › Crash Reports if you want to attach it.
