Write.md: Free Open-Source Markdown Editor for macOS

Hacker News •
×

A Markdown editor for macOS that you can shape around the way you like to write. Free and open source. No account. No telemetry. Rooms for writing: some words need quiet, others arrive after midnight with music on and the city still glowing. The document stays the same, but the room around it can change. Keep it as plain Markdown, then shape the space around the words.

Not just light or dark: tune the space, not just the syntax. Shape the whole writing surface. Save it as a profile. Change it again tomorrow. Customize type, size, line height, and page width; color, opacity, glass, and window borders; image and video backgrounds; reusable profiles for every mood.

Appearance theme design: window, editor surface, and reading experience. Built from the same editor: rice it until it feels like yours. Write.md does not ship a catalog of premade themes. These are examples of spaces made by changing the editor yourself, then saving the result as a profile. Same app. No bundled theme pack. Just profiles made with Write.md's appearance controls.

Only when you want them. Small tools. No imposed workflow. Software you can own. Your Markdown stays a file, not an account. 0 accounts required, 0 analytics trackers, 100% open source, Apache 2.0 licensed. Open a file and write. Make some space for your words. Free forever. Currently available for Apple silicon.
