A NATIVE MARKDOWN EDITOR FOR MAC

A little less interface.
A lot more thought.

For notes that become ideas. Ideas that become drafts.
And words that deserve a little room to breathe.

Apple silicon · macOS 15+ · Preview release

A quiet beginning

A NOTE TO YOURSELF

A quiet beginning.

You don’t need a perfect first sentence.
You just need a place to start.


Make room for an idea

Open a page. Let the words arrive. Foliolet keeps the formatting close and the distractions a little further away.

Good writing starts with paying attention.
  • A thought worth keeping
  • A little space to think it through

01 / A PLACE TO THINK

Your words.
Front and center.

A Markdown editor that feels like a page, not a project.

Headings look like headings. Lists look like lists. The syntax steps into view when you need it, then quietly steps back. Write naturally, without losing the simplicity of a plain-text file.

Small details. Less friction.

THE LITTLE THINGS ADD UP
01

Pick up where you left off.

Keep your documents together in one window. Tabs and unsaved drafts return with your next session.

⌘TA fresh page, one shortcut away.
02

Find the thought again.

Jump through a document, search a folder, or use precise find and replace. Your next match stays within reach.

⌘FLess hunting. More finding.
03

Let your words travel.

Keep the original in Markdown. Export to PDF, HTML, or Word when it’s time to share something finished.

And room for the complex things, too: tables, task lists, math, Mermaid diagrams, and an optional side-by-side preview.

02 / SET THE MOOD

Find your
kind of quiet.

A bright morning. A late-night thought.
Seven reading themes. Your kind of page.

ON THE ART OF NOTICING

Keep the small things.

A sentence overheard. A question without an answer. The idea that arrives just as you close your laptop.

Not everything needs to become something.
Some things are simply worth keeping.

Make a little room for curiosity.
one thought → another → a beginning

03 / NO STRINGS ATTACHED

A home for your words.
Not a lock on them.

Your work lives in ordinary Markdown files on your Mac.
Open them here. Open them elsewhere. They’re yours either way.

How do I install it?

Do I need an account?

No. Open the app and start writing. Documents and session recovery are stored locally on your Mac.

Can I use my existing Markdown files?

Yes. Open your existing .md or .markdown files. Foliolet edits ordinary Markdown, so your files can still be opened in other editors.

What can I export?

Export your document to PDF, HTML, or Word (.docx). The original stays in Markdown, ready for your next edit.
