Why QuickMark

For when you just want to see it.

A full editor is a lot to wake up just to read a README — QuickMark opens the moment you need it and stays out of your way.

Open in an instant

Press Space in Finder or tap a file and it's rendered before a heavier editor would finish loading.

Nothing to set up

No plugins, no config, no project to open first — code, math, and diagrams just look right the first time.

Reads exactly like GitHub

What you see is what you'd publish, so you never wonder how the file will land.

Quiet, and yours

No panels clamoring for attention, no ads, no tracking — your files stay on your device and work offline.

A closer look

The good parts, none of the noise.

Everything you need to live in Markdown — and nothing shouting for your attention.

Write and preview, side by side.

A clean editor on the left, your live render on the right, scrolling in perfect sync. An outline keeps long documents one tap away, and find-in-page is accent-insensitive — handy across many languages.

Everyday details

The small things that add up.

The native touches you stop noticing because they just work.

Tabs, unlimited

Keep every document a tab away. Reorder them, drag between windows, and reopen the one you just closed.

Outline navigation

A live outline of your headings makes jumping around a long document effortless.

Find in page

Search within a document and step through matches — accent-insensitive, so bi also finds bị.

Live auto-reload

Edit a file in another app on your Mac and QuickMark refreshes the moment you save.

Save to QuickMark

Share text or a link from any app on iPhone or iPad straight into a fresh .md file.

Private & offline

Your files stay on your device. No ads, no tracking, and it works with no connection at all.

Mac · iPhone · iPad
