Kite Markdown Editor
Read & preview .md files
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Your AI tools write a lot of Markdown. README, specs, AGENTS.md. Kite is where you actually read and edit it: beautiful type, plain .md, fully offline. Free to try.
You ship code with AI now, and your tools leave behind a trail of Markdown: README.md, AGENTS.md, specs, plans, PRDs, scratch notes. Most of it lands in a plain text box that makes long documents a chore to read.
Kite is where that Markdown finally looks good.
It's a native macOS editor built around typography. Open any .md file and it renders in clean, readable type with six hand-tuned themes in light and dark. Edit in place, WYSIWYG, without ever mangling the raw Markdown underneath. Your files stay exactly what your tools and your repo expect: plain .md, GitHub-flavored, no proprietary format.
• Beautiful, readable type for long agent output and docs
• Six typographic themes, light and dark
• WYSIWYG editing that keeps the source plain Markdown
• GitHub-flavored Markdown: tables, code blocks, and clean lists
• Quick Look: hit space on any .md in Finder for a rendered preview
• Read Aloud with natural, on-device voices, to review a spec hands-free
• Fully offline and private. Nothing you write or open leaves your Mac.
No account. No cloud. No lock-in. Your words are always plain text files you own.
Free to try for 7 days, then a one-time unlock. No subscription.
