About MarkEdit
MarkEdit is a native Markdown editor with an uncluttered writing surface. Open a file and work with familiar text-editing behavior and Markdown-focused assistance.
It is a good fit when your documents already live as files and you want a dedicated editor. Explore the upstream documentation for customization and extension options.
