Getting started
Install Bliss, open a dump from chat, and get a readable document in a few minutes.
1. Install
- Grab the build for your OS from the download page.
- macOS: open the downloaded app. Gatekeeper may ask you to confirm the first launch — that’s normal for apps outside the Mac App Store.
- Windows: run the installer. SmartScreen may warn on a first-time publisher — choose to run when you’re ready. Bliss needs WebView2 (usually already on modern Windows).
2. Open a file
File → Open, drag a .md onto the window, or double-click a Markdown file once Bliss is your default handler. The document opens as a readable page — headings, lists, and tables look like a document, not a wall of syntax.
Recent files show up so you can jump back without hunting through folders. You can also create a new empty Markdown file from the app when you want a blank page.
3. Edit
Switch into edit mode when you need to change something. Type naturally; use familiar Markdown shortcuts where they help (# for headings, lists, and so on). Bliss aims for Notion-style comfort without turning your file into a proprietary format.
Chat stays in Claude or ChatGPT. Bliss is the document window for the file they left behind.
4. Save
Save writes real CommonMark + GFM back to the same path. Only the parts you changed get rewritten — so a typo fix doesn’t reformat the whole dump. Details inhow saving works.
