> MDflow for VS Code.

• ›Your knowledge lives next to your code. Specs, plans, runbooks, READMEs, and notes open in the same window as the file you are editing — no context-switch to a browser.
• ›A real editor for your markdown. Multi-cursor, Vim or Emacs keybindings, find-and-replace, your color theme, the built-in markdown preview, and any markdown extension you already use — all of it works on your MDflow documents.
• ›Your cloud workspace as a sidebar tree. Everything in MDflow — every workspace, folder, and document — shows up in the Explorer, fetched lazily as you expand it.
• ›Save is one keystroke. Ctrl/Cmd + S writes the document back to MDflow. Native dirty-state, undo, and tab management all behave exactly as they do for a local file.
• ›Client-side encryption, in the editor. Encrypt a document with a password that never leaves your machine; the server only ever stores ciphertext.
• ›One account, every surface. The same documents you reach on the web, on mobile, over the API, and through the MCP server — now in your editor too.

Choose how to connect. Either way, your credentials are stored in VS Code's encrypted Secret Storage — never in a settings file or in plain text on disk.

The tree's context menus give you full CRUD — the same operations as the web app, without leaving the editor.

• ›Workspaces — create, rename, and delete (deleting a workspace removes every folder and document inside it; the last workspace cannot be deleted).
• ›Folders — create, rename, move to another folder in the same workspace, and delete.
• ›Documents — create (opens the new file for editing), rename, move to another folder, and delete.

MDflow auto-disambiguates duplicate names with a numeric suffix; the tree always shows the name the server returned, not the one you typed.

Encrypt a document's body with a per-file password, straight from the editor title bar or the Command Palette. MDflow's server only ever stores ciphertext (mdflow-enc:v1:…); your password and plaintext never leave your machine.

• ›Transparent editing. Opening an encrypted document prompts for the password once, then it reads and edits as normal markdown; Ctrl/Cmd + S re-encrypts on save.
• ›Cross-client by design. It is the same format as the web app and the mdflow-crypt CLI (PBKDF2-600k → AES-256-GCM), so a document encrypted in one opens in the others.
• ›Lock, unlock, and remove. Forget the cached password (Lock), re-enter it (Unlock), or store the body back as plaintext (Remove Encryption) — the actions shown always match the document's current state.

• ›A live API client, not a sync engine. The extension reads and writes your documents through MDflow's HTTP API on demand. There is no local cache and no offline mode — saving requires a connection.
• ›Last write wins. There is no conflict resolution: if you edit the same document elsewhere at the same time, the most recent save is the one that sticks. MDflow's own version history keeps every prior version on the web.
• ›One account at a time, markdown documents only (up to 500 KiB each). Sharing, collections, and workspace search stay in the web app.
• ›Point it at localhost. The mdflow.baseUrl setting lets you develop against a local MDflow server; it defaults to https://mdflow.cz.
