Inkstone is a native Markdown editor for the Mac, built with SwiftUI rather than Electron. Markdown renders as you type, and Inkstone edits the plain .md files in the folders you add. There's no database, no import step and no account, and nothing leaves your Mac.

• GFM tables with drag handles, task lists, footnotes and syntax-highlighted code blocks
• LaTeX math and YAML front matter
• Wikilinks between files in any folder of a space, compatible with existing Obsidian vaults
• Focus and typewriter modes, tabs and split panes
• A version history for every file
• Live reload when other programs, such as AI coding agents, change files on disk

Inkstone is a one-time purchase of $29.99 with a free 14-day trial. It requires macOS 14 or later.
