Clearly Markdown

A clean, native markdown editor for Mac. Write with syntax highlighting, preview instantly, and get back to what matters.

Features

Built with SwiftUI and AppKit. Fast launch, low memory, feels right at home on your Mac.

Headings, bold, italic, links, code blocks, and more — highlighted as you type.

Full GitHub Flavored Markdown support, including Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX math.

Edit and preview at the same time. Scrolling stays in sync so you always see what you're working on.

Export your document as a PDF or send it straight to a printer. Page breaks just work.

Cmd+B for bold, Cmd+I for italic, Cmd+K for links. The keyboard shortcuts you expect.

Preview markdown files right in Finder. Press Space on any .md file.

Follows your system appearance or set it manually. Looks great either way.

KaTeX math expressions render beautifully. YAML frontmatter is formatted cleanly in both editor and preview.

Free and open source on GitHub. See how it works, file issues, contribute.
