Nothing leaves your Mac. • Live Studio — seven ready-made building blocks: section, table, checklist, code, quote, storyboard and action plan • Several documents open at once, in tabs, with synced scrolling • Live statistics, a choice of reading fonts, and a full menu bar with keyboard shortcuts for everything FREE AND PRO Reading and writing are both free. Open any Markdown file, use all four themes, LaTeX, colored code, tables, search, contents and the bundled samples — and on iPad and Mac, write in the editor with its live side-by-side preview, create new documents and save them. Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription — and it covers taking the document back out of the app: export to PDF and HTML on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and on iPhone and Mac also printing, exporting a single section, sharing as an image and copying with formatting. On Mac it adds Live Studio, AI Markdown and several documents open at once. One purchase covers all three. YOUR FILES STAY YOURS Ordinary .md text files. No proprietary format, no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking and no subscription — one purchase, that's all. The only time the app uses the network is to load images your own document links to. Opens .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd and .mkdn — from the Files app, iCloud Drive or a share sheet. Available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic.
