Local-first visual text editor

Only for Mac

Free

Now with workspace support — browse and edit all your markdown files from one place. Plus improved slash commands and faster preview rendering. Werner is a markdown editor that adapts to how you write. Switch seamlessly between rich editing, source code, and preview — all in one app. Choose the view that fits your workflow. The interactive editor gives you rich text formatting with a familiar feel. Split view shows your markdown alongside a live preview. Source view is pure markdown with syntax highlighting. Preview mode is for reading and reviewing your work. Focus mode removes everything except your words. No sidebar, no toolbar — just you and a clean writing surface. Press Escape when you're ready to return. Type / at the start of any line to quickly insert headings, lists, code blocks, tables, quotes, and more. No need to remember markdown syntax. Open entire folders as workspaces and browse your files in the sidebar. Jump between documents without leaving the app. Your recent files are always one click away. The document outline shows all your headings at a glance. Click any heading to jump straight to that section. Find text anywhere in your document with built-in search.
