MarkLab Editor

A Clean Mac-native Markdown Editor for Developers

What it does

MarkLab is a clean and Mac-native app, no electron. It's distraction free, without subscriptions or ads, and it has a fast live preview so you can see formatting update in real time. I also built it with devblogs in mind, and added frontmatter support so you can edit post metadata with ease.

    I'm not the author of the app (nor i have any connection with them, just a random user). iA Writer and Writer Pro aren't well suited for me as a developer. They feel quite "strange" to me. Mou is a good option (free too) but still missing some features. So far this, this editor is the most complete user-friendly. Hope it helps!
