Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
A fast, native Markdown editor for your Mac — live preview, split view, an on-device AI assistant, full GitHub-flavored Markdown, dark mode, and no tracking.
MarkNook is a fast, native Markdown viewer and editor for the Mac. Open any Markdown file, watch the live preview update while you type, and switch between editor, split view and preview with a click or a keyboard shortcut.
LIVE PREVIEW
The preview follows GitHub-flavored Markdown (GFM): headings, lists, tables, task lists, strikethrough, code blocks, links and images look exactly the way you expect. LaTeX math formulas and Mermaid diagrams render right in the preview. Links open in your browser, and the preview follows the system's light or dark appearance.
A REAL MAC EDITOR
The editor is a true native text view with undo, find and replace, optional spell checking and a crisp monospaced font. Smart quotes and automatic text replacement stay off, so your Markdown remains exactly what you typed.
AI ASSISTANT (APPLE INTELLIGENCE)
Ask the built-in assistant to write, rewrite, improve, summarize, translate or create Markdown for the document you're editing, then insert the result or replace the whole document with a single click. It runs entirely on your Mac with Apple Intelligence — private and offline. (Requires a Mac that supports Apple Intelligence.)
WRITING & FORMATTING TOOLS
- A formatting toolbar, a Format menu and a right-click menu — all with keyboard shortcuts — for bold, italic, headings, lists, tables, links, images and more
- Live Markdown syntax highlighting as you type
- A document outline to jump around long files, optional line numbers, and a focus mode for distraction-free writing
- Column (block) selection to select and edit many lines at once
- Smart lists that continue automatically when you press Return
MADE FOR YOUR WORKFLOW
- Editor, split and preview layouts, switchable with Cmd+1, Cmd+2 and Cmd+3
- Remembers each document's layout, reopening it the way you left it

PRIVATE AND RELIABLE
MarkNook is fully sandboxed, shows no ads, contains no tracking and works completely offline. Your documents never leave your Mac.
Whether you keep notes, maintain README files or write documentation: MarkNook keeps Markdown simple.
