Clutter-free interface. Has a keyboard (ctrl+/) shortcut to display useful hotkeys. Good selection of themes. Only downside is the ram usage being on the higher side.

Edit: Updated to 1.4.2 and the ram usage has drastically decreased to single digits! I noticed it also shows a wordcount and token size of the .md file that is open. Neat feature.

What is marka.md?

A native macOS markdown editor specialized for AI context management. Live editor on the left (codemirror 6), rendered preview on the right (markdown-it + shiki + mermaid). Minimal Chrome, full catppuccin + matcha themes, macOS vibrancy, orange octopus mascot. ~10 MB bundle.

Works with claude, chatgpt, gemini, your local agent — anywhere that reads plain markdown.

Features:

  • live preview — debounced ~50 ms render with code blocks (shiki) and mermaid diagrams
  • 5 themes — catppuccin latte / frappé / macchiato / mocha + matcha (washi paper + kelly green) + system auto-switch
  • reading mode — flips to distraction-free preview-only with iA-style typography
  • command palette — fuzzy-searchable, grouped by category
  • find / replace — opens a themed codemirror search panel
  • folder sidebar — load a folder of .md, fuzzy-search across the tree, click to load
  • share to AI — copies the current markdown to your clipboard, paste anywhere
  • export to PDF — renders preview-styled HTML, opens system print dialog
  • macOS vibrancy with opt-in transparency
  • auto-save off by default — commits. trust your fingers, not background daemons.
  • fully keyboard-driven — every command has a shortcut, palette covers the rest
