# MarkEdit
[](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/releases/latest) [](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/actions/workflows/build-and-test.yml)
MarkEdit is a free and **open-source** Markdown editor, for macOS. It's just like _TextEdit_ on Mac but dedicated to `Markdown`.
## Screenshots
## What makes MarkEdit different
- Privacy-focused: doesn't collect any user data

MarkEdit is designed to be simple and easy to use. You can also customize the UI and behavior by adding your own scripts, including utilizing CodeMirror extensions.
To learn more, refer to [Philosophy](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/wiki/Philosophy), [Why MarkEdit](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/wiki/Why-MarkEdit) and [MarkEdit-api](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit-api).
## Installation
Get `MarkEdit.dmg` from the latest release, open it, and drag `MarkEdit.app` to `Applications`.
MarkEdit checks for updates automatically. You can also check manually via the main `MarkEdit` menu, or browse version history [here](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/releases).
If you prefer a [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) installation, run `brew install markedit` in your terminal and you're all set.
> We used to publish MarkEdit to the Mac App Store, [but no longer](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/wiki/Philosophy#be-a-good-macos-citizen). Don't worry about the security warning; releases are signed with a certificate from an identified developer and [notarized](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution).
## Platform Compatibility
To be focused, we only support the latest two major macOS releases. For now, they are [macOS Sonoma](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/09/macos-sonoma-is-available-today/) and [macOS Sequoia](https://www.apple.com/macos/macos-sequoia/).
Last-compatible version tags: [macos-12](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/releases/tag/macos-12), [macos-13](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/releases/tag/macos-13).
## Why MarkEdit is free
MarkEdit is completely free and open-source, with no advertising or promotions for other services. We make it mostly because we need it, and we ship it just in case you need it too.
Please consider starring or contributing to this project.

However, we hesitate to add new features ([why](https://github.com/MarkEdit-app/MarkEdit/wiki/Why-MarkEdit#feature-poor)); please fork the repository and make your own.

Thanks in advance.
## Acknowledgments

MarkEdit uses [ts-gyb](https://github.com/microsoft/ts-gyb) to generate lots of boilerplate code.
