View one document in two modes, or put two documents side by side. Each pane independently supports editing, source, and reading.
Compare current Markdown text, including unsaved changes. Aligned lines and character-level highlights make small edits visible.
Inspect Git changes, commit selected files, and resolve conflicts in a three-way view. Uses your local Git installation; never pushes automatically.
Also inside: Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX formulas, relative images, document themes, HTML / PDF / DOCX export, and optional AI with your own API.
START WITH A REAL TASK
Open, compare, and commit. Three guides walk through practical workflows.
Use Markwrite to view one Markdown document in two modes, compare two files side by side, and inspect line and character differences, including unsaved edits.
Review local Git changes in Markwrite, choose files to commit, and resolve document conflicts with a three-way view. Files stay in their existing repository.
Install Markwrite on Linux, set it as the default Markdown application, and read .md files with relative images in their original project folders.

No. The built-in workflow reviews changes and creates local commits. Install Git first, and use your preferred Git tools for remote synchronization.
Yes. Keep relative images alongside the Markdown file, or export a document-and-attachments ZIP. Embedded images travel inside the file, but the receiving renderer must support them.
