What it does
SoloMD is a free, open-source Markdown editor for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. It presents a live WYSIWYG-style Markdown editor with tabs, themes, wiki links, and export to PDF or Word, while keeping notes in local files. The project lists no account, subscription, or advertising requirement and publishes desktop and mobile apps.
Write in Markdown without leaving the rendered view
SoloMD's product site describes a live editor that renders Markdown as you type, with tabs, themes, wiki links, and PDF or Word export. The official repository says the notes folder is local and supports a command-line tool as well as the app's File → Export workflow. This makes SoloMD more of a portable writing environment than a hosted knowledge database.
The homepage lists five supported platforms and says the app is free, without an account or subscription. The release page lists v5.0.5 released on 2026-10-22; the license is MIT. The project also advertises folder sync and optional AI, but neither workflow was tested. No files were opened, exported, or synchronized.
