Clearly Markdown
Native markdown editor
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Clearly is a clean, native markdown editor built for macOS.
No Electron. No bloat. No subscription. Just a fast, focused editor that feels like it belongs on your Mac.
Write with clarity. A syntax-highlighted editor with a distraction-free design. Headings, bold, italic, code blocks, links — everything is color-coded so your structure is visible at a glance.
Preview instantly. Switch to a beautifully rendered preview with a single keystroke, or use side-by-side mode to edit and preview simultaneously with synchronized scrolling.
Paste images, render diagrams, write math. Drop images directly into the editor. Write Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX math expressions and see them rendered live. Frontmatter blocks are formatted cleanly in both editor and preview.
Export and share. Print your documents or export them as PDF with a single command.
Built for macOS. Native SwiftUI app with full dark mode support, standard keyboard shortcuts, Quick Look previews in Finder, and a document-based architecture that works with iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or wherever you keep your files.
