Katib

Katib is a distraction-free text editor for languages that are written from right to left. Whether it is Arabic, Persian, or Urdu, we sweat the important details like typographical excellence, usable bi-directional text editing, and simple Markdown formatting so that you can focus on writing and being productive. Never have to set writing direction... ever again. Katib's algorithms recognize the language you're typing in and sets the text direction accordingly. And if you ever need to explicitly set the directionality of your document well, you can do that too. Markdown is a simple, light-weight formatting language built for writers. Ever use a pair of asterisks to emphasize a word? *That* is Markdown. Katib supports full Markdown syntax highlighting. You can even create ordered lists using Arabic-Indic & Persian numbers. Katib features an automatic transliterator that transcribes English sounds into their Arabic equivalent. Notice the initial letter in each word: it assumes the connected form until proven otherwise. Mursal Type takes human intention into consideration and the result is less jitter in your editor. It's little things like this that make typing with Katib a pleasure. Are you a night owl? We have the perfect theme for you. It's easy on bleary eyes and a catalyst for late-night creativity. Looks gorgeous in fullscreen mode too. Whether it's Arabic tashkil or Hebrew nikkud, Katib can handle it. Editing is easier when you can discern diacritics from base text.Read More
