Inkwell
Markdown that reads like a finished document.
Open any .md file and see it typeset: tables, task lists, code and footnotes, in light or dark. Press Space in Finder for the same view in Quick Look, and ⌘E when you want to edit.
Quick Look
Select a Markdown file in Finder and press Space. You get the rendered page, not raw text.
One key to edit
⌘E flips between the rendered page and a plain editor. Each keeps its place, and changes save as you go.
Light on battery
Pages render natively in a few milliseconds with no scripts running. Nothing happens in the background while you read or type.
