What does it do?
Inside one small native Mac window, Marklet formats your Markdown right where you type it. Markers such as asterisks and hash signs hide wherever your cursor is not and reappear the moment you move into them, so you edit and read the same document without a preview pane.
Who is it for?
Writers, developers and note-takers who keep plain .md files and want them to look finished while they write, without switching to a heavy editor.
When would you use it?
- Release notes: Draft a changelog with headings and task lists, ticking items off as each feature actually ships.
- Editing a table: Click into any cell, Tab across columns and add rows without counting pipes by hand.
- Technical writing: Mix code blocks and inline equations in one document that still reads cleanly in any other editor.
Why use it?
Lists continue on Return, checkboxes click, pipe tables become editable grids, and code blocks highlight around 190 languages. Math renders inline and images display in place, yet the file on disk remains ordinary Markdown that opens anywhere. A single setting dims the markers instead of hiding them if you prefer.
What should you know?
- Downloading it straight from the maker's site is free through September 2027, and a Mac that opens it before that date keeps its free license permanently. The identical app sells for $2.99 through Apple's store.
- Requires macOS 14 or later and is about a 20 MB download.
Prices and codes change. Last year's codes may no longer work — always confirm on the maker's site. Are you the maker? Send us your 2026 deal — listing is free.
