The Markdown Editor is a local-first writing app for Mac that edits ordinary Markdown files in their existing folders, rather than importing them into a proprietary library.
What it does Write notes, technical documents and Git-backed posts with rendered headings, lists, tables, task checkboxes, code blocks and LaTeX. Slash commands, image drag-and-drop, split-screen editing, Quick Notes and customizable typography/themes streamline writing. Optional GitHub sync includes file history; integrations with Codex, Claude Code and OpenCode use existing subscriptions. Optional sync and AI can involve external services. Version 1.3.0 requires macOS Tahoe 26+. iOS, PDF/PNG/DOCX export and Mermaid are roadmap items, not confirmed released features.
Pricing — checked 21 October 2026 (EUR) The homepage advertises €29 once for a Lifetime license covering future Mac versions and up to three Macs. New purchases are Lifetime only, according to the September refund policy. Older August terms still quote €50 Lifetime, €8/month and a 72-hour trial; those conflict with the newer offer, so confirm current trial and checkout terms rather than assuming the subscription remains available. Taxes and local-currency totals are determined at checkout; third-party AI subscriptions are separate. No voluntary refund is offered, without limiting mandatory consumer rights.
Their story The creator built the editor to combine ordinary files, reliable Markdown rendering and minimal clutter. The changelog dates its first release to 23 August 2026; version 1.3.0 arrived on 16 October with Big Picture mode, custom themes and shortcuts.
