What is a Markdown template?
A Markdown template is a reusable plain-text note structure. Use it for planning, journaling, meetings, research, or checklists. It stays readable in Raven, git, any text editor, and Claude when it has folder access.
How to use them
- 1. Start with a real use case: planning, journaling, research, work, or personal systems.
- 2. Copy the Markdown into any note app, or open it in Raven on Mac and iPhone.
- 3. Keep editing it like a normal note. You do not need a template account or marketplace.
