Markit - markdown reader
Local-first Markdown editor
Only for Mac
₱ 799.00
Markit is a Markdown editor for macOS. What you type renders as you type it — and what lands on disk is a plain .md file that any other tool can open.
How it feels to write
· Headings, lists, tables and footnotes appear as you type. No wall of syntax to read past
· Mermaid flowcharts, Markmap mind maps and KaTeX math render in place; the source shows only when your cursor moves in
· Five kinds of callout, syntax-highlighted code, striped tables, task lists, and typography set for long-form reading
· ⌘/ drops you into source editing, ⌘E into reading — three views of the same file
Organizing a library
· Open several folders at once, each one independent
· Hierarchical #tags: rename one, and every file that uses it follows
· [[Wikilinks]] and a backlinks panel; rename a file and the references to it are updated too
· Full-text search built on SQLite FTS5, including languages without word boundaries
A window that holds a whole day
· Tabs and four-way drag-to-split panes, each with its own navigation history
· Drop in images, PDFs, code or video to preview side by side; drop in a link for an embedded web pane
· Focus mode collapses both side panels with ⌘D
· Your layout comes back after a restart, right where you left it
When you're done
· Export self-contained HTML: images and styles embedded, table of contents generated, nothing missing when you send it on
· Export PDF
Your files, your call
· No account, no network, no upload
· Atomic writes; CRLF/LF and BOM preserved byte for byte; frontmatter left exactly as you wrote it
· Edits made outside the app are detected and offered as an explicit choice — never silently overwritten
· Eight interface languages, switched without a restart
more Annotations (new)
- Highlight text and attach notes — kept inside Markit, your .md file stays untouched
- Eight colors, each one you name so the name is the meaning; mark fast with ⌥1–⌥8
- Turn any annotation into a to-do, check it off, and filter to just what's unhandled
- Margin notes sit beside the text; when a line has several, hover to fan them out and the body makes room
- Export and copy annotations: five templates, checkboxes, live preview, custom templates, ⌥⌘E
Search & organizing
- Full-text search now finds matches inside your annotations too
- New "Annotations" tab in the sidebar, ⌥⌘F, and a per-file count in the file tree
Right-hand panel
- Show the outline and annotations together — as tabs, stacked, or side by side, and drag to rearrange
- Collapses to a rail in a narrow window and reappears as you resize
- Outline headings show a section's annotation dots and count
Outline
- Follows your reading position by default; expand or collapse everything in one click
- A right-click menu per heading (copy section and more); long headings can wrap
Interface & menus
- Settings → Appearance: themes as thumbnail cards
- "Set as default Markdown app" in the app menu
- Sidebar tabs gained icons and double as menus; the selected row no longer turns blue
- Tidied top bar: split tabs are labeled "×N panes"

Tabs & split view
- Document tabs: switch, close, and drag to reorder — with ⌘1…⌘9, ⌘⇧[ / ], ⌃Tab and ⌘W
- Drag a file from the sidebar onto a pane's edge to split in that direction, or onto its middle to replace what's there. Splits can nest
- A blank pane offers quick open or open file; tabs scroll sideways when they overflow
- Every pane keeps its own back/forward history, and your layout comes back after a restart
- Drop in files or links from outside: they open in a new pane, links as an embedded web page
Writing, reading & typography
- ⌘E flips between reading and editing, ⌘/ drops to the source; the source panel carries a live word count
- Bundled LXGW WenKai for body text and headings; body at 17px with 1.7 line height, code at its own size
- Five callout styles, syntax-highlighted code blocks, zebra-striped tables with rounded corners, Obsidian-style image embeds
- A brighter dark theme, and all three themes now check their contrast
- Markdown links are clickable, and your scroll position is remembered when you switch documents
- Rename a file inline in the list; the top-right of the document is now an edit toggle plus a more menu
- Fixed: pasting web content froze the editor; the document crept upward while typing with an IME; empty table cells were mangled; quotes, lists and tables now look the same in reading and editing
Outline & panels
- New outline panel with per-level heading folding, reading mode included
- Redesigned panel toggles; the file and outline panels and the text width can all be dragged wider
Tags
- #tags are first-class: syntax highlighting, library-wide indexing, autocomplete
- Sidebar tag tree plus frontmatter tags — click a tag to list every file that uses it, and tag the current document straight from the sidebar
- Rename a tag and the whole subtree follows (undoable)
- Fixed a tag tree that showed files but opened empty; a leading # is no longer escaped
Command center & find
- Quick open, full-text search, commands and backlinks in one command center; ⇥ switches modes
- Command palette (⇧⌘P); ⌘F is a Chrome-style find bar that also works in reading mode; open straight from the clipboard, plus global shortcuts
Window & menus
- Redesigned top bar; ⇧⌘R reveals the current document in Finder
- Settings window (⌘,) with body font sizing (⌘+ / ⌘- / ⌘0)
- Menu commands for export, back/forward and recent files
Export
- Export to HTML or PDF with the full color theme preserved and assets embedded
