Markdown editor for macOS · Mac App Store

See it as you write.
Draw your diagrams.

SSEM MarkdownEditor shows the rendered result while you type. Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math and syntax-highlighted code render right in the preview — and with the new Diagram Studio you can edit diagrams visually instead of hand-tuning code.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later · One-time purchase (no subscriptions or in-app purchases) · No accounts, ads or analytics · Levelupsoft Inc.

SSEM MarkdownEditor window: Markdown source in the editor on the left, rendered headings, table of contents and table in the preview on the right

New Diagram Studio

Double-click any Mermaid diagram in the preview to open it in Diagram Studio. Apply writes your changes back into the document’s code block, and new diagrams are inserted at the cursor.

Visual flowchart editor

  • Add, rename and delete nodes
  • 9 node shapes
  • Connections with 6 line styles and labels
  • Layout direction (top-down, left-right and more)

Work on the canvas

  • Click nodes on the live canvas to select them
  • Connect mode: click two nodes to link them
  • Zoom in, out and to fit

Code mode with live rendering

Edit any Mermaid type — sequence, class, state, ER, Gantt, pie, mindmap and more — as code and watch the canvas re-render as you type. Starter templates included.

Export as images

Save a diagram as PNG (2×) or SVG, or copy it as PNG to paste straight into slides or chat.

Everything you need to write Markdown

No more switching back and forth to check how your document looks — see it while you write.

GitHub Dark, GitHub Light, Notion and Paper.

PDF export and print

Export the preview to PDF or print it as it looks.
