mxMarkEdit for Mac

Create Markdown documents with stylistic support, tasks, simple databases, bibliographies and presentations.

Free
In English
Version 1.3.13.0

mxMarkEdit overview

mxMarkEdit is a free software for Mac for writing texts and todo items in Markdown format and easily exporting them to other formats with Pandoc, provided that it’s installed in the system in use. In each document, it is available an Excel-like grid useful to manage various sets of data, and also a file manager to search for a sentence in all the documents or spreadsheets contained in a folder. It's also possible to use the app as a presentation manager. Finally, mxMarkEdit has a built-in bibliographic manager which may use the bibliography stored in the grid to compile the citations within a document in a way that resembles the one used by BibLaTex.

The software has been written in Lazarus and is released under the GPL version 3 license or following, available in www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html. The software runs in English or Italian.

mxMarkEdit doesn't use Electron because of its performance and security issues. The formatting of Markdown text is made by an original algorithm written in Free Pascal.

mxMarkEdit has been deeply influenced by Org-mode. Although it has far less functionalities and customisations than the latter, it’s a standard Mac app which benefits of the Apple spell checking and standard shortcuts.

What’s new in version 1.3.13.0

  • Bugs fixing: when a cell in the grid was edited, the text was initially selected and the left and right keys where not able to move the cursor to the beginning or end of the text.

I've recently downloaded MxMarkEdit to try, as I'm on the lookout for a quick Markdown -> Pandoc based note taking app, and this looks as if it will fit the bill. However, it is billed as being for Apple Silicon architecture, yet in the settings the path to Pandoc is that for Intel architecture (/usr/local/bin) rather than the Silicon path to Pandoc (/opt/homebrew/bin) if installing using Homebrew, which I would guess most Pandoc users do. I have yet to succeed in getting it to recognise my installation at that path. On my installation there is no '/bin' folder in '.local'
