Typora
Seamless live-rendering markdown editor — no preview pane needed.
Typora pioneered the seamless live-preview editor: there is no split view — markdown syntax transforms into its rendered form the instant you finish typing it, giving a distraction-free hybrid of source and preview.
It supports GFM plus math, diagrams, and footnotes, manages images intelligently, and exports to PDF, HTML, DOCX, and more. A one-time license covers Windows, macOS, and Linux.
