Settings
Everything PeepMD remembers about how it should look and behave lives in one place, and every setting applies to the app as a whole rather than to a single document.
On the Mac, ⌘, opens Settings, or use the gear in the status bar. Three tabs: General, Appearance, and Theme. The window resizes to whichever pane you pick.
On iPad, iPhone, and Vision Pro, tap the gear in the floating status bar, or in the ornament below the window on Vision Pro. The same three panes sit behind a segmented control at the top of the sheet.
General
Language sets the language PeepMD speaks, independently of the rest of your device. Leave it on System and it follows your device's language; pick one of the six PeepMD is translated into (Deutsch, English, Español, Français, Italiano, Svenska) and it uses that instead. The interface changes as soon as you choose, and the parts the system draws for PeepMD, like the menu bar on the Mac and the document browser on iPad and iPhone, catch up the next time the app opens.
If your device is set to a language PeepMD does not speak, it falls back to English.
The manual and the welcome document follow the same choice the next time you open them. The acknowledgements stay in English, since license texts are quoted as written.
Follow edits decides what happens when a save changes something you cannot see. On, the preview scrolls to the change and flashes the paragraph it landed in; off, it stays where you are. Either way your place is kept. It starts on for the Mac and Vision Pro, where PeepMD usually sits beside an editor, and off on iPad and iPhone, which are readers.
On the Mac only, two more: Open documents in tabs decides whether a second document joins the front window as a tab or opens its own window. You can drag a tab out either way. And Edit with picks the app ⌥⌘E hands the current document to; the list holds every app registered for Markdown, plus Other… for anything else.
Appearance
Appearance (System, Light, or Dark) is PeepMD's own light and dark setting. On System it follows the device. The choice reaches the whole app including the rendered document, so a style that answers to light and dark mode answers to this too: a way to read in the dark without putting the rest of your Mac into it, or the other way round.
Underneath, a Style section dresses the status bar itself. It is not on Vision Pro, where the controls hang off the window as ornaments and there is no bar to dress.
Material is the surface the bar is drawn on:
| Material | What it is |
|---|---|
| Glass | Liquid Glass, the default. The document shows through and refracts |
| Clear | Nearly transparent |
| Ultra Thin, Thin, Frosted | Progressively more frosting, less document |
| Solid | Opaque |
Tint colors the glass in one of the six colors of Apple's 1977 logo: Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, and Blue. Graphite is no tint at all, and the default. The color is a thin wash, so the bar still reads as glass.
Only Glass and Clear take a tint. The Tint picker is switched off when another material is chosen.
Theme
The list of styles, built-in and your own, plus importing and removing, and the code theme for code blocks. It has a chapter of its own: Styles.
