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.

Bear is a beautiful, flexible writing application for crafting notes and prose. The app is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac and is quick and easy to reach for when inspiration strikes. Writers, lawyers, chefs, teachers, engineers, students, parents, and more use Bear to take notes and write. Bear provides an advanced markup editor with support syntax highlighting for over 150 programming languages and support for Markdown. The editor also allow for rich previews during the time of writing so that you can see the actual prose, not code. Each note can be individually encrypted and the application itself can be locked and opened with Face or Touch ID allowing you to protect sensitive information. Bear is available for free, while also providing premium feature via a subscription-based Pro version.

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.
