Marked 2
Live markdown previewer that pairs with any text editor.
Marked 2 is a macOS previewer rather than an editor: open a markdown file in it, keep writing in whatever editor you prefer, and Marked refreshes its rendered preview every time you save.
It adds writing statistics, readability scores, keyword tracking, document outline navigation, and export to PDF, HTML, and DOCX with custom styles — a power-user companion to editor-only workflows.
