About

I'm Mohamad, a solo developer. I like building software that's fast, focused, and stays out of your way. I work mostly on native Mac/iPhone apps, I focus on usability, accessibility, usability, and the small details that make something feel effortless rather than just functional. Right now I'm building two things: Scriptum, a native markdown editor for technical writing, and Cortex (https://ms-dev.app/cortex). Outside of software development, I usually spend my time researching in neurology and machine learning science.

Scriptum - Lightweight, native Mac markdown editor

A native macOS markdown editor built around how you actually use your documents. Presentation Mode turns your headings into a full slideshow, no exporting to Keynote. Article Mode gives you a focused, e-reader style view for reading long documents comfortably. The live preview auto-reloads the moment another app or script edits the file, so it stays in sync beside your terminal. KaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams render inline. iOS and iPadOS apps coming soon.
