An offline, cross-platform Flutter GUI that reimplements markitdown's conversion in pure Dart, so anyone can convert files to Markdown without Python or a terminal. Lives under apps/flutter/ and does not touch the existing Python packages.

What this is
A small, offline, cross-platform GUI for MarkItDown, built with Flutter and
living entirely under
apps/flutter/. It does not modify or depend on theexisting Python packages — it's a self-contained frontend so non-technical users
can convert files to Markdown without Python or a terminal, on Windows,
Android, and the Web from one codebase.
Why it might be useful
MarkItDown is fantastic, but today it needs a Python environment. This makes the
same idea reachable to everyone: drag a file in, get clean Markdown, copy or save
it — 100% on-device, nothing uploaded.
How it works
All conversion logic was reimplemented in pure Dart (there are no
mammoth/pandas/pdfminer equivalents for Dart), so it runs fully offline on
desktop, mobile, and in the browser:
styles.xml, tables, links, bold/italic)html2md; CSV / JSON / XML to tables/outlinesI validated the Dart converters against this repo's own
tests/test_filesusing the
_test_vectors.pyexpectations (docx/xlsx/pptx/pdf/json/html/epub allproduce the expected content).
Honest note
I completely understand if a full Flutter app inside a Python repo isn't the
right fit to merge. If so, I'd be glad to instead have it listed as a community
project / third-party frontend in the README — whatever you prefer. Opening
this mainly to share it and get your guidance.
