Everything Markdown Deserves

All of it running on your own machine.

Just Files in a Folder

Every document is an ordinary .md file on your disk. Back them up, sync them, or open them in any other editor - nothing is locked in a database.

Works Offline

No account, no sign-in, no server. MarkyDowner has no idea whether you're online, and doesn't care.

Beautiful Themes

Ten rendering themes - Classic, Midnight, Paper, Neon, and more. Set one per document, per folder, or across everything.

Focus-Aware Scroll

Keeps your editor and preview aligned. Follows your focus while you write, and your scroll when you navigate.

Import Almost Anything

Drop in .pdf, .docx, .odt, or .txt and get editable markdown back. Scanned PDFs go through OCR on your own machine.

Version History

Every save keeps a snapshot. Compare any two versions side by side and restore the one you meant to keep.

Export to PDF

Print-quality PDFs that look exactly like your preview, theme and all.

Full Markdown

GFM tables, syntax highlighting, blockquotes, task lists, callouts - all supported.

One Document, Multiple Looks

The same markdown rendered with different themes. Pick the one that fits your content.

Your Files Stay Yours

MarkyDowner keeps your documents as plain markdown in a folder you choose. That’s not a technical detail - it’s the point. If the app disappeared tomorrow, every document you wrote would still open in Notepad.

No account

Nothing to sign up for and no password to forget.

No upload

Your writing never touches a server, ours or anyone else’s.

No lock-in

Standard .md files in a normal folder.

Free for Windows and macOS. No account required.
