Note

macOS Gatekeeper Notice: the .dmg is not yet notarized, so the first launch is refused — "Markpad cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified" — and the dialog offers only Cancel and Move to Trash. Two ways past it, both one-time:

• Control-click (right-click) Markpad.app in Finder → Open → Open. That dialog has the button the double-click one does not.
• Or double-click once and press Cancel, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to Security, and press Open Anyway beside the message naming Markpad. Authenticate with your password or Touch ID and confirm.

Being unsigned also means macOS grants file access per prompt instead of remembering it, so Markpad may keep asking for permission — most visibly with auto-save on (it can be turned off in Settings; closing a tab still offers to save) and in documents with many local images, which can ask once per image. Signing the app yourself on your own Mac ends that: see this comment on #209 — a code-signing certificate made in Keychain Access plus codesign --force --deep, or the Sentinel app. It has to be redone after each update.

The two Windows files differ only in that one installs and one does not.
Package managers: choco install markpad-app (Windows), sudo snap install markpad (Linux).

What Markpad renders

Every syntax Markpad renders is in one document — download markdown-syntax.md (简体中文) and open it in Markpad: the preview shows each feature working, the editor beside it shows how each one is written. Give the same file to an AI and it knows exactly what Markpad can render: ask it to reformat a document you already have, or to write a new one that uses the whole range — callouts, tables, footnotes, maths, diagrams — and open the result here. Read it on GitHub.
