In 2026, there's still a need for a modern, lightweight Markdown editor for macOS with live preview capabilities. MacDown 3000 aims to fill that need.
MacDown 3000 is essentially MacDown Continued. The focus is stability, bug fixes, and support for more modern varieties of Markdown. It supports macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) and later, on both Intel and Apple Silicon.
This project seeks to honor the intentions and efforts of both Mou and MacDown, while ensuring that this valuable tool remains available and actively maintained for today's Mac users. Many thanks to Tzu-ping Chung, the author of the original MacDown, for creating this fantastic tool.
MacDown 3000 is and will always be Free Software. You can get it from https://macdown.app/, from GitHub, or from Homebrew:
