MarkdownManager
Write, Preview & Sync Notes
Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
Markdown Manager is a native Mac Markdown editor built for people who write seriously — developers, writers, students, researchers — and don't want to pay a subscription for the privilege.
Pay once. Use forever. One low price and the app is yours. No annual renewal, no feature tiers, no subscription.
A PROPER SPLIT-PANE EDITOR
The Mac version gives you a true three-mode editor:
• Edit — distraction-free raw Markdown
• Preview — full rendered output in a WebKit view
• Split — editor and live preview side by side
The preview auto-updates as you type. Scroll sync keeps the preview pane locked to your editor position so you always see the rendered version of what you're working on.
FORMATTING TOOLBAR
A scrollable formatting toolbar puts every Markdown element one click away:
• Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, Inline Code
• Headings H1 / H2 / H3
• Bullet, Numbered and Task / checkbox lists
• Blockquote, Horizontal rule, Hyperlink (with dedicated insert sheet)
• Font size 10–32 pt
• Line height and font family cycling (System, Monospaced, Serif, Sans-Serif)
• Preview zoom 50–200%
ICLOUD SYNC ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES
Your entire document library syncs via CloudKit across Mac, iPhone and iPad automatically. Start writing on your Mac, continue on iPhone — your documents follow you everywhere.
FULL GITHUB FLAVOURED MARKDOWN (GFM)
Rendered using the industry-standard marked.js library, with full GFM support:
• Tables with column alignment
• Task lists (- [ ] and - [x])

IMPORT, EXPORT & PRINT

THE HONEST ALTERNATIVE
The Mac Markdown editor market is crowded with apps that charge $20–$50 per year for features that should just be included. Markdown Manager is a complete, professional editor at a one-time price. No upsells after purchase. No features locked away. Just a good app.
Download Markdown Manager and own it forever.
