Editor and preview modes
Switch between editor-only, side-by-side split, and full preview mode depending on how you work. The live preview renders headings, tables, code blocks, and images as you type, so you always see the formatted result.
Features
Everything needed for fast Markdown editing.
Markdown Docs keeps Markdown work compact: editor, preview, tools, autosave, and file workflow in one focused desktop app.
Complete Markdown toolbar
Insert headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, block quotes, callouts, horizontal rules, fenced code blocks, tables, links, reference links, images, and video directives. The toolbar covers standard Markdown and GitHub Flavored Markdown patterns.
Lists, tasks, and tables
Build bullet lists, numbered lists, and task checklists for notes, specs, and release plans. The table tool inserts aligned Markdown tables you can edit by hand or preview instantly.
Autosave and recovery
Saved files autosave to disk, while untitled documents are preserved as recoverable local drafts. This is especially useful for AI-ready Markdown documentation and long writing sessions.
Windows-first workflow
Open Markdown files from Explorer through Markdown Docs after installing the setup package, with open-with support for `.md`, `.markdown`, `.mdown`, and `.mkd`. See the guide to opening .md files on Windows.
Rename, undo, and redo
Rename a document straight from the header, and rely on full undo and redo while editing. Everything stays local on your device, with no account required.
From AI docs to README files.
Markdown Docs handles every kind of Markdown file, from README.md and AGENTS.md to other project Markdown files. Try it in the browser or install it for Windows.
