The essentials
Everything you need. Nothing in the way.
Markwrite keeps the useful parts of a Markdown workflow close and the rest out of sight.
A real editor
Write Markdown as plain text in a clean, native editing surface. No browser chrome, no distractions, no hidden format layer.
A finished preview
See headings, code, tables, task lists, links, and images rendered as a readable document in a live preview while you work.
A place to focus
Choose a reading theme, set your line length, search the document, and let the interface fade into the background. Export clean PDF, HTML, or Word when it is time to share.
Take it with you
From Markdown to a document you can share.
Finish a note in Markwrite, then export it as a faithful PDF, a self-contained HTML page, or an editable Word document. Your source stays simple; the result is ready to send.
struct Export {
let format = "PDF"
let readyToShare = true
}Code you can reuse
Copy buttons appear on code blocks in Markwrite and in exported HTML, so useful snippets travel with the document.
Three useful formats
Export without cleanup
Tables stay tables
Markdown tables export as native Word tables, not a column of flattened text.
A calm workflow
Your words, in the foreground.
Markwrite is deliberately small. It opens quickly, keeps your files local, and gives you a clear path from rough Markdown to a document you want to read.
Open
Drop in a .md file or open it from the File menu.
Shape
Edit the source and watch the preview keep pace.
Read
Find your place with themes, outline navigation, and search.
Common questions
A clearer way to write and read Markdown.
What is Markwrite?
Markwrite is a native Markdown editor and reader for Mac. It lets you write plain-text Markdown, see a live rendered preview, and read local .md and .markdown files in a focused macOS app.
Does Markwrite support split-screen editing and live preview?
Yes. Markwrite shows the Markdown source and rendered document side by side, so the preview keeps pace while you edit.
Can I use Markwrite to read local Markdown files on Mac?
Yes. You can open a Markdown file from the File menu or drag a local .md file into Markwrite, then use outline navigation, themes, and search while reading.
Can Markwrite export Markdown to PDF, HTML, or Word?
Yes. Export a multi-page PDF for a faithful layout, a portable HTML file that keeps code copy buttons working, or an editable Word document. Markdown tables become native Word tables so you can continue editing them.
Is Markwrite a Markdown writing app without a subscription?
Markwrite includes a 14-day trial followed by a one-time purchase. There is no recurring subscription, and your Markdown files stay local to your Mac.
Which macOS versions does Markwrite support?
Markwrite supports macOS 14 Sonoma and later.
How many Macs can I activate with one license?
One Markwrite license can be active on up to two Macs that you own or control. You can deactivate a Mac in Settings before moving an activation to another Mac.
What is your refund policy?
Direct purchases can be refunded in full within 14 calendar days of purchase. Because Markwrite includes a 14-day full trial, we do not provide full or partial refunds after that window, except where required by law. A full refund revokes the associated license.
