Markdown editor for Mac, Windows and Linux

Write on the left.
Read on the right.

A two-pane Markdown editor. Plain text as you type it, typeset as it will be read.
And nothing else on screen.

Three ways to see the same document: the plain text, the finished page, and the two side by side.
Switch with a click, or straight from the keyboard.

Features

A preview worth watching

Headings in a real typeface, quotes that look like quotes, code with syntax color. All redrawn as you type, never behind a refresh key.

Tabs when you want them

Gather a project into tabs in one window, or stay focused with a single file open. Lauda does not decide that for you.

Plain .md files

Your documents stay Markdown on your own disk. No proprietary format, no sync service in the middle.

Free, and built in the open

A non-profit project. Read the code, open an issue, and build it yourself.
Or just use it.
