Readable Markdown stays underneath
Raven edits tables without hiding the text format. The note remains a normal .md file you can open elsewhere.
Edit tables without giving up plain Markdown.
Raven gives Markdown tables row and column controls on Mac and iPhone. Add rows, add columns, change alignment, then keep the note as a portable .md file.
Tables are useful until the Markdown gets annoying.
Raven keeps the table portable while removing the fragile part: manually lining up pipes when you just need to add one more row.
Rows
Columns
Alignment
A Markdown table should be editable and portable.
Markdown tables are great until you have to fix the pipes by hand. Raven keeps the file as Markdown and gives the common edits normal controls.
The table is still text. The editing is less fussy.
Rows without pipe surgery
Add or delete rows while you are writing. The Markdown stays clean without making you count separators.
Columns stay manageable
Add, remove, and align columns from the editor, then keep typing below the table.
Still plain text
A table in Raven is still Markdown, so Claude, Cursor, and terminal tools can inspect the source.

Markdown table questions.
Are Raven tables still Markdown?
Yes. Raven tables are Markdown tables inside a plain .md file. The editor gives you controls for rows and columns, but the note remains portable text.
Can I open Raven tables in another Markdown editor?
Yes. Other Markdown editors can read the table syntax. Their editing UI may differ, but the file is still Markdown.
Can Claude or Cursor read Raven tables?
Yes. The table is plain text in a .md file, so Claude, Cursor, terminal tools, and MCP filesystem tools can read it with folder access.
Does Raven support daily notes with tables?
Yes. Raven has daily and weekly Journal notes, and those notes can contain Markdown tables, tasks, backlinks, and normal text.
