Mac writing & Markdown apps Black Friday 2026

This page lists 22 indie Mac writing & Markdown apps we track for Black Friday 2026. 6 have a 2026 deal confirmed by the maker and 16 are awaiting a 2026 deal. Confirmed 2026 discounts here range from 20% to 30% off.

Markdown editors, long-form writing tools, grammar and style checkers and AI writing helpers for the Mac. Writers tend to keep the same editor for years, so a Black Friday price on a license is worth catching. Confirmed 2026 deals come first; last year's offers follow, clearly labeled. 22 listed, 6 confirmed for 2026. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026; Cyber Monday is Nov 30. Updated Nov 4, 2026.
