Simplified.md

An opinionated markdown editor for macOS. No UI noise, keyboard-first, and markup that steps aside while you read.

Version 0.3.4 · macOS 12+ · Universal (Apple silicon & Intel) · Signed & notarized

Markup, only when you need it

Still plain text — the syntax just steps back in where you're editing.

Click around or move the caret with ← → ↑ ↓ — markup unfolds under your cursor and tidies itself away when you leave. Hover the image to preview it.

Todo lists that celebrate

Toggle with ⌘↩. And yes, there's confetti.

tasks.md

Click a task (or focus it and press Space) to check it off.

Tables you can actually edit

Because we all know what markdown tables look like by hand.

Edit any cell, or change column alignment — the markdown underneath stays in sync. Flip the switch to see it.

One paragraph at a time

Focus mode dims everything you're not writing.

Click a paragraph, or move with ↑ ↓.

Paste anything, get markdown

Markdownify structures pasted text for you. (AI — bring your own key.)

Plain, unstructured text in — headings, lists and emphasis out.

What else?

Inline images with drag'n'drop upload & hover previews
Projects & folders — plain .md files on disk, Finder-visible
Import from Google Docs, export with attachments
Typewriter mode, word count, themes, table of contents
