A native Markdown editor for Mac, with live preview

Write in Markdown, see it rendered instantly

Clarity Edit's Markdown editor keeps your source text and its formatted output side by side. As you type headings, lists, links, or checkboxes, the live preview updates immediately — no separate render step, no switching views to check your formatting.

Built-in support for the Markdown you actually use

• Headings — structure documents with multiple heading levels that automatically populate the outline.
• Lists — ordered and unordered lists, nested as deep as you need.
• Links — inline Markdown links rendered in the preview.
• Checkboxes — task lists for tracking to-dos directly inside a document.
• Tables — insert a Markdown table in one step.
• Table of contents — generate one from your headings in one step.
• Code blocks — fenced code blocks for embedding snippets inside notes or documentation.

Outline navigation for long documents

Once a document grows past a page or two, scrolling to find a section gets tedious. Clarity Edit generates an outline from your headings automatically, so you can jump straight to any part of a long README, spec, or set of notes.

Share it your way

Markdown files stay plain text, so they work anywhere. Save, print, and export Markdown for free, or use Clarity Pro to export PDF, HTML, DOCX, or RTF, or copy styled text for email and documents.

Who it's for

Developers writing README files and technical docs, writers drafting in Markdown before publishing elsewhere, and anyone who takes notes in plain text but wants proper formatting without leaving the keyboard.
