Features
From quick notes to technical papers with math, diagrams, and live code. Scribe MD adapts to how you work.
Inline and block math rendered with KaTeX. Write equations with $...$ and $$...$$, see them typeset instantly.
Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, Gantt charts, pie charts, mindmaps, and git graphs — rendered live in the preview.
Language-specific highlighting for Swift, Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C/C++, Java, SQL, and many more. Copy button on every block.
See your Markdown rendered in real time as you type. Documents auto-save as you work. Search the rendered preview with Cmd+F.
Three view modes — split, reader, and editor. Synchronized scrolling keeps both panes in sync.
Turn any document into a full-screen slideshow. Split slides with <!-- slide --> markers or H1/H2 headings. Navigate with arrow keys or clicks.
Note, Tip, Important, Warning, and Caution callout blocks with distinct icons and colors. GitHub-flavored syntax.
Highlights, footnotes, definition lists, superscript, subscript, interactive checkboxes, and inline HTML — beyond standard Markdown.
Export to PDF or HTML with full styling. Print directly, or share via AirDrop, Mail, and Messages.
Open any folder as a workspace. Browse files in a sidebar tree, create, rename, duplicate, and manage documents with sort and search.
Two carefully crafted themes for long writing sessions. Switch to Article View for reading-optimized typography. Toggle with Cmd+Shift+D.
Choose from 13 typefaces including New York, Charter, and Palatino. Each file remembers its font. Toggle full-width or centered layout with Cmd+Option+W.
Scribe MD is a native SwiftUI app — not a web wrapper. It launches instantly, respects your system settings, and feels right at home on your Mac.
On macOS 26, Scribe MD adopts Liquid Glass with translucent surfaces and floating controls.
No loading spinners. No runtime to boot. Open a file and start writing in under a second.
No accounts, no analytics, no cloud. Your documents never leave your Mac. Network is only used for the optional tip jar.
Requirements: macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later. Built with Swift and SwiftUI.
