Mac

Free to read and write. Open whole folders, search them at once, and edit in a split view that stays in sync. One purchase adds PDF/HTML export and code themes. Markdown Loft is a calm, fast Markdown previewer and editor for the Mac. Open any .md file and it renders instantly: clean typography, real tables, task lists, and syntax-highlighted code, in a quiet interface that keeps your content front and center. The free version is a complete Markdown app, not a trial: read, write, and save as much as you like. No account, no subscription, no nagging. FREE Everything you need to read and write Markdown beautifully: • Open and preview any Markdown file (.md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd) with clean, book-quality typography • A live editor: write in Split or Editor Only view, with the two panes scrolling together line by line • Create, edit and save Markdown files — the free version is a complete writer, not just a reader • Live preview that refreshes on its own the instant a file changes on disk • Rich rendering: headings, tables, task lists, blockquotes, images, and nested lists • Syntax-highlighted code blocks with a one-click copy button • A multi-section sidebar: open several folders and individual files at once, each as its own group, and fold any section shut to keep things tidy • Real projects, not just single files: drill into subfolders, and search the whole folder tree in one place • Follow links from one document to another, with the sidebar keeping up • Show hidden files such as .github or .claude whenever you need them • Drag files in to open them, or drag any file out to Finder or another app to hand off its path • Find in document, with every match highlighted as you type, in both panes • Make it yours: adjustable reading font, text size, and accent color • Light and dark themes that follow your Mac automatically • Quick zoom, plus full keyboard navigation including the sidebar • Fast, native, and private: no account, no telemetry, and your files never leave your Mac PRO Reading and writing are free. A single, one-time purchase adds the tools that finish a document: • A formatting toolbar for headings, bold, italic, lists, links, tables, code and more, with no syntax to memorize • Export to PDF and HTML, styled to match exactly what you see • Code-block color themes: GitHub, Dracula, Nord, Solarized, One Dark, Catppuccin and more Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Buy it once and it's yours on your Apple ID, restorable on any Mac you own. WHY MARKDOWN LOFT • Calm by design: the chrome stays quiet so your writing is the star • Fast: opens instantly and stays responsive on large documents • Private: a local-first app that collects no data • Native: real macOS window behavior, light/dark, and keyboard shortcuts Perfect for developers reading READMEs, writers drafting in Markdown, students taking notes, and anyone who wants a clean, distraction-free place to read and write Markdown.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Writing is now free! • The editor is free. Split view, Editor Only, typing, saving, and creating new files no longer need Pro. Reading and writing Markdown is what this app is for, so the free version now does both, completely. • Pro is the finishing tools. A single one-time purchase still adds the formatting toolbar, export to PDF and HTML, and code-block color themes. If you already bought Pro, nothing changes and nothing is lost — thank you for backing the app early. • Find highlights both panes now, and searching in Editor Only stays in Editor Only. • Split view scrolls line by line, so the two panes stay aligned however long the document gets. • Links between documents open and follow along in the sidebar, including links to a heading in another file. • Opening a file while a sidebar search is active now reveals it, and folders stay put while you browse a subfolder. Thank you for using Markdown Loft. Feedback is always welcome at support@lokotechnologies.ca.
