FAQ
Bliss is a desktop Markdown app from Ana Projects (not cosmetics, not an OS, not the wallpaper).
What is Bliss?
Bliss is a free Mac and Windows app that opens Markdown as a readable document and saves real .md back to disk. Built for the files Claude and ChatGPT leave behind.
Is it free? Mac and Windows?
Yes. Free on Mac and Windows. No account wall, no freemium tease.
Does Bliss upload my documents?
No. Files stay on your machine. There is no Bliss account and no cloud sync in v1. Offline works once installed.
Does a save rewrite Markdown I did not edit?
Only the blocks you edited get rewritten. Untouched text is spliced back from the original bytes: markers, blank lines, frontmatter, the weird fence you pasted from Claude. More in round-trip.
Is there telemetry?
Only if you turn it on in the app. PostHog is off by default. This marketing site does not ship analytics on the MVP; if that changes, the privacy page will say so first.
Is this Word / VS Code / Obsidian?
No. Formatting lives in the Markdown file, not a proprietary blob. There is no project tree or plugin marketplace. There is no vault or note graph. One file at a time.
Does Bliss include AI features?
Not in v1. It is a viewer and editor for files your other tools already wrote. Anything "AI inside the app" is later (v2 Spotlight), and we will not pretend it shipped early.
Can I make Bliss the default .md app on Windows?
Bliss can register as a candidate handler. Modern Windows still makes you finish in Settings (ms-settings:defaultapps). There is no supported one-click seize-the-default API that sticks. macOS uses Get Info / Open With as usual. Steps →
What Markdown does it support?
CommonMark plus GFM bits people actually use: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks. Constructs Bliss does not fully understand stay as raw source so a save cannot invent a cleanup.
