Read and write
M1 adds the library, binder, Write and Source modes, Read, search and word counts. UTF-8 files remain the manuscript.
A workspace for Markdown books
Your book, your files, your decisions.
mdquire brings reading, writing, builds and review into one free, closed-source desktop workspace. M1 is in development for Windows and Linux; macOS is to verify.
M1 In development
A book workflow built around plain files
Keep the structure visible
The binder follows the project’s reading-order owner. A plain folder needs no proprietary database or mdquire account.
Produce with checked tools
M3 integrates mdbindery builds and mdrestyler voice measurements. Each tool reports its own results and limits.
Agent proposals arrive with M4 and M5
Agents receive bounded jobs and return checked proposals. The author approves what enters the book. A mode whose confinement gate fails is unavailable.
Four tools, one book workspace
mdbindery
Core in M3
Check a book, build EPUB/PDF and preview the result.
mdrestyler
Core in M3
Build a voice profile, measure prose and inspect the book table.
mdeditorial
Signed plugin in M6
Run nonfiction editorial stages with author decisions and issue records.
Mdnarra
Signed plugin in M6b
Keep fiction canon, draft in rounds, import books and run story checks.
Local files and explicit external actions
No mdquire account, analytics or required cloud book storage. GitHub sign-in is only for GitHub work; manuscript material requires the agent workflow’s approval before a model request.

The shell, builders and editor spike passed their Windows and Linux gates; this was not a public release.
How mdquire labels development status
Complete, in development, planned and to verify have different meanings across the site.
