Keep ownership simple
Plain text is a great place to think.
Markdown Mate opens and saves standard .md files right where you keep them. Organize them in Finder, version them with Git, or sync them with the service you prefer-without importing or exporting a database.
Made for the way you write
Everything essential.
Nothing in the way.
Syntax that stays readable
Write with clear Markdown highlighting, then switch between editor, preview, and split view.
Find your next thought
Quickly open files and search across your workspace when the right note is just out of reach.
Lightweight by design
Fast, focused, and intentionally free from a complicated plugin ecosystem.
A clear view of your work
Stay in the flow, from first draft to final edit.
The editor keeps formatting, files, and document structure close at hand-so you can spend less time managing tools and more time writing.
- Live document outline
- Editor, preview, and split view
- Full-text workspace search
A better home for Markdown
Open a folder. Start writing.
Markdown Mate is ready when you are.
