MacDown is a free and open-source markdown editor for macOS. MacDown provides live preview, syntax highlighting and a minimalistic appearance for easy Markdown formatting. The editor is influenced by Mou, and I try to mimic much of its behaviour as much as possible both in UI and the logic. MacDown is loved and use by many thanks to its highly customisable Markdown rendering options, syntax highlighting in fenced code blocks, and sophisticated auto-completion.

A markdown editor and reader that gives you a seamless reading and writing experience. Typora removes distractions by removing the markdown source code and syntax symbols with its mode switcher and preview mode. The application supports tables, code fences with syntax highlight, LaTeX and Table of Contents and can be customized at will with custom CSS theme support.

Joplin is a free and open source note taking and to-do list application. Joplin can handle large number of notes organised into notebooks and allow you to write memorable notes using markdown. With Joplin your notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor.
