The bamboo grove at dawn, before the crowds arrive.

The temple bell stops — but the sound keeps coming.
Small app. Sharp tools.
Truly WYSIWYG
Headings, bold, lists, and tables render like a word processor — and you edit the styled text directly. No split-screen squinting.
Code, one tab away
Flip to raw Markdown whenever you want. Edit in either view; they're always the same document.
Tabs for days
Open as many documents as you like, each in its own tab with its own history. Close one, the rest stay put.
It remembers for you
Recently opened files are one click away, and the Open dialog starts where you left off. Small things, done right.
Feather-light
Starts instantly and idles around 50 MB of RAM. Your laptop fan will not know it's running.
Offline & private
No account. No cloud. No telemetry. Your files stay on your machine, in plain Markdown, forever portable.

Fair questions.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
MarkdownMaster starts asking for an unlock code. Buy one for $4.99 — it's a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Enter it once and the app is yours for good, updates included.
Which platforms does it run on?
Windows is the primary platform, with macOS and Linux builds from the same codebase. One unlock code covers your personal machines.
Will it mangle my existing Markdown files?
Your files are plain .md text and stay that way. The styled view is just a view — flip to Code Mode any time to see exactly what's on disk.
What if it's not for me?
The trial is fully functional for two weeks, so you'll know before paying a cent. If you buy and regret it within 30 days, email us for a refund.
