What it is
Markdown Buddy: the homepage
Markdown Buddy is a native macOS application for reading, editing and navigating Markdown files. It features a workspace tree sidebar for browsing files in folders, multiple view modes including rendered preview and side-by-side editing, and tools like find and replace, passage search across files, and a link map with broken-link detection. The app includes support for converting Word documents, PDFs and RTF files to Markdown, optional AI-powered project overviews, and integrates with Xcode and Finder's Quick Look. All files remain as plain Markdown on disk, and the app runs with no data collection or network access by default.

Quick answers
Is it a one-off purchase or a subscription?
It is a one-off purchase at $4.99 with no subscription, in-app purchase, or paid upgrade. Every feature is included and every update is free.
Which macOS versions are supported?
Markdown Buddy supports macOS 14.0 and later on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Does Markdown Buddy collect any data?
No. The app runs in the App Sandbox with Hardened Runtime, collects nothing, and makes no network request to open or render files. Documents only leave your Mac if you enable an online AI service with your own API key and give consent.
Can I convert a Word document or PDF to Markdown?
Yes. File > Import Document reads .docx, PDF or RTF files and saves as .md, preserving headings, lists, bold, italic, tables and links. Items that cannot be converted, such as images or scanned PDFs, are listed before you save, and the conversion runs on your Mac with nothing sent online.
Is it only a viewer, or a real editor?
It is a real editor with four view modes including an editable preview, find and replace, formatting shortcuts, workspace search, and a link map. Files stay on disk in plain Markdown.
