Note

Windows SmartScreen Notice: Windows executables are not signed with an Authenticode certificate, so SmartScreen shows them as an unrecognized app. Click "More info" → "Run anyway". The antivirus heuristic that used to flag the portable .exe no longer does.

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.

Folder access is remembered across updates, from 2.7.5 on. macOS ties a folder grant to the app's signing identity, and Markpad now carries one that does not change when the code does, so the permission survives an update instead of being asked for again. Updating from a release older than 2.7.5 asks once more — the signature changes the identity, and the old grants belonged to the unsigned one. Signing is not notarization: the first-launch dialog above is unaffected.

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.

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.

Full Changelog: v2.7.0...v2.7.1

Markpad v2.7.0

New Features

• Preview width is configurable: a setting, a shortcut pair to widen/narrow, and the preference persists (#346, #347, #348, #349)
  
• Editor toolbar : new icons and a show/hide toggle (#282)
  
• Window tags and pinned sessions rebuilt (#280)
  
• Moving tabs between windows rebuilt (#279)
• macOS settings menu (#339)
  
• Floating table-of-contents toggle (#331)
  

Documents

• A file over 50 KB opened as a truncated preview, and saving wrote that preview back over the whole document (#374)
• A non-UTF-8 file opened as mojibake, and auto-save wrote the mojibake over the original 1.5 s later (#379)
• Dropping two images with the same name in the same second silently replaced the first while the document still linked to it (#383)
• A read failure during session restore evicted the tab and saved the trimmed list, so an unplugged drive lost the tab permanently (#401)
• Re-opening a file that was already open with unsaved edits discarded them, and cleared the dirty flag so nothing said so (#412)
• Two tabs could hold one path with two auto-save timers writing over each other (#413, #416)
• A tab moved between windows could end up open in both, each copy with its own auto-save timer writing over the other (#366).
• Pressing ⌘S while an auto-save was mid-write could leave the older text on disk (#436, #438).
• Quitting with two tagged windows could lose one window's pinned tags (#424).
• A stale preview render could overwrite a newer one (#254), and an interrupted session restore left the app unable to recover (#260).

Security

• Exported HTML skipped the sanitizer entirely (#376)
• The preview never used the shared sanitize policy, so a document's <style> reached the app's own UI — reproduced hiding the title bar and fetching a remote beacon (#384)
• A link could read as http://… everywhere the user can see it and open a local file instead (#415)
• Imported VS Code theme colours are validated before being injected as CSS (#362), and imported theme slugs are normalized (#301)
• Theme and image file paths are constrained to their directories (#249, #270)
• File IO, decoding and Markdown boundaries hardened on the Rust side (#371)

Export and printing

• Exported HTML now contains rendered math, syntax highlighting and Mermaid diagrams instead of raw source (#411)
  
• Exported HTML carries the theme, and no longer cuts collapsed sections out of the document (#382)
• PDF exports are readable in every theme; diagrams no longer come out dark-on-dark (#359)
  
• A PDF exported from edit mode is no longer blank (#407)
• Local images are inlined on Windows (#363)
• Find highlights no longer print, and collapsed matches are revealed (#377)
• Print layout: native controls, full page width, and tighter content rhythm (#329, #333)
• The export menu is no longer greyed out for an unsaved document you're editing (#441)

Editor and preview

• Task checkboxes work in the preview, and the change is written back to the file (#345, #352)
• Three separate LaTeX reports turned out to be one bug : _{1} becoming italics, \\ being eaten so a multi-row aligned collapses, \% being eaten so KaTeX treats the rest of the line as a comment. All three are comrak applying Markdown inline rules inside math delimiters; fixed by masking the span before parsing rather than patching one character at a time (#351, #402; closes #174 / #177 / #197)
• Escaped dollars stay escaped, and $$…$$ inside a paragraph renders (#422)
• The editor context menu is fully localized and follows a language change (#381)
• URLs pasted inside code blocks are no longer turned into links (#381)
• Scroll position returns to the block you left, not to a percentage (#420)
• Heading folds are per-document, and are cleared when a tab follows a link to a different file (#425, #448)
• A leading --- no longer swallows the paragraph after it (#375)
• Copy Reference produces a link Markpad can actually follow (#403)
• Preview works without saving first (#421)
• ToC jumps use heading source position (#335)
• Editor options and keyboard shortcuts now do what their labels claim (#369)
• Saving works from reading mode (#365)
• "Save image as" works for local images, and says so honestly for remote ones (#408)
• A relative link to a non-Markdown file resolves against the document instead of the app (#409, #415)
• Copy Reference produces a link Markpad can follow (#380), and "open the exported file" had never worked because the opener plugin had no path scope (#403)
• Live Mode watched the wrong file after a tab switch (#296)
• YouTube embeds open externally instead of failing in place (#338)
• Settings: the modal stays draggable (#312), collapsed toolbar sections are remembered (#286), and every setting syncs across windows instead of the last window overwriting the rest (#370)
• Recent files are merged across windows instead of overwritten (#405)
• The auto-save failure toast no longer repeats (#406)
• A malformed UTF-8 code fence crashed the renderer (#265)
• Window titles update natively (#288); a window created at startup is reused instead of a second one appearing (#318)

Windows

• "Move to New Window" froze the app. create_transfer_window built the window synchronously, and on Windows that deadlocks. WebView2 needs the main thread free to pump messages while the window is created (#360)
• Right-clicking a tab twice opened the document menu the second time, because the first menu's full-viewport overlay swallowed the click and only called preventDefault() (#360)
• Install failed outright when the Desktop or Start Menu folder did not exist — this is the cause of the OS Error 3 reports (#400)
• Uninstall could terminate unrelated processes with the same name (#358)
• Install and uninstall are recoverable if interrupted (#364)
• Markpad no longer registers itself for plain text files (#302)
• The Install button stays reachable at large system text sizes (#428)

macOS

• PDF export did not work at all (#287)
• Opening several documents at once from Finder kept only one of them (#298, #300)
• The editor paste menu was missing (#266)

Performance

• Startup JavaScript down 81 % : Monaco now loads when you open the editor rather than before the first paint. First paint went from 4770 KB to 904 KB; entering edit mode costs ~330 ms once per window (#423)
• Mermaid-heavy documents ~12× faster to type in; diagrams are no longer redrawn on every keystroke (2185 ms → 189 ms on a 20-diagram document) (#419)

Markpad v2.6.13

Summary

Features

• Added independent native windows with menu-based tab transfer.
• Added hover marquee to reveal truncated tab titles.

Fixes

• Tabs & Windows: Fixed tab renaming. App now prompts for unsaved tabs individually on window close and batch close. Menus are guarded when dialogs are active.
• Editor: Pasting a URL over a selected URL replaces it instead of nesting. Unsaved content is preserved when toggling tasks. Prevented stale large-file loads.

Thank you @PathGao!
