📝 Honest answer: Stackwallet does not use markdown inside the app — labels and address-book notes are plain text. Markdown is only for your own external setup notes, and never for your seed phrase.

Stackwallet Markdown & Notes Guide

Power users coming from notes or messaging apps often ask about markdown in Stackwallet. The honest answer is that a crypto wallet handles text differently — here is exactly how, and how to keep useful notes safely.

The one rule that matters: never put your recovery seed phrase or private keys in any note — not in the app, not in a markdown file, not in the cloud. Notes are for non-sensitive reminders only.

Does Stackwallet Use Markdown?

No. Unlike a notes app or a team chat tool, Stackwallet is a cryptocurrency wallet, and it does not apply markdown formatting to text inside the app. There are no bold, italic, heading or code-block styles to use on a wallet label. This is not a missing feature so much as a different purpose: a wallet's job is to manage keys and transactions, not to format documents. So when you see the word "markdown" in the context of a wallet, it really applies to notes you might keep yourself, outside the app.

What You Can Do: Labels & Address-Book Notes

Stackwallet does let you stay organised with plain-text tools:

Wallet Labels

  • Name each wallet clearly (for example by purpose)
  • Use favourite wallets for fast access
  • Keep names short and meaningful

Address Book

  • Save frequently used addresses with a label
  • Add a short plain-text note for context
  • Never store secrets — just reminders

Keeping Your Own Setup Notes

If you like documenting your setup, a plain markdown file on your own computer is a fine place for non-sensitive reminders — which coins you use, which custom nodes you prefer, or your backup routine. Markdown is handy here precisely because it is outside the wallet. But the same hard rule applies: your recovery seed phrase and private keys never belong in any digital note, in any format. Keep those offline and private.

FAQ

FAQ: Markdown & Notes

Does Stackwallet support markdown?

No. Stackwallet is a crypto wallet, not a notes or messaging app, so it does not use markdown formatting inside the app. Wallet labels and address-book notes are plain text. Markdown is only relevant for any setup notes you keep yourself, outside the wallet.

Can I add notes and labels in Stackwallet?

Yes. You can label wallets and add entries with notes to the address book to keep things organised. These are plain text fields meant for short, non-sensitive reminders, not for storing secrets like your seed phrase.

Can I keep my own markdown notes about my wallet setup?

You can keep your own non-sensitive setup notes in a markdown file outside the wallet, such as which coins you use or which nodes you prefer. Never put your recovery seed phrase or private keys in any digital note, markdown or otherwise.
