About MacDown 3000

Markdown editor with live preview and syntax highlighting
Release info Update on Nov 01, 2026
Release notes MacDown 3000 is a modern, open-source Markdown editor for macOS.

This release adds folder workspaces, unified document zoom, and draggable table-column resizing, restores automatic update checks, and fixes a batch of preview-rendering, toolbar, export, and scroll-sync bugs.

Added
o Add draggable table column resizing in the live preview: drag a column-boundary handle to resize live, double-click to reset; widths are held in memory only and reset on full preview reload or document close, with no document mutation (#451, #569) -- thanks @aseelye for the contribution!
o Add folder workspaces: browse a folder of Markdown files in a hideable sidebar and open them as native macOS window tabs, via File > Open Folder... or macdown . (#493) -- thanks @fluxa (JM Fluxa) for the contribution!
o Add unified document zoom: ?+ / ?- / ?0 and a toolbar preset dropdown drive one shared zoom level across every open document window, persisting across launches (#529, #518, #470, #335, #552) -- thanks @leevi2010-cursor for the contribution!
o Restore automatic update checks and the Check for Updates... menu item, on Sparkle 2 with EdDSA-signed updates (#129, #556, #557)

Changed
o Reduce "keep/discard" dialogs on external file changes: coalesce rapid write notifications, guard against re-entrant prompts, and reload silently when there are no unsaved edits, preserving caret and scroll position across reloads (#543, #550) -- thanks @Maarten-TL for the report!
o Add paragraph and list-item scroll-sync reference points alongside headers/images, and follow the cursor on click and arrow-key moves (not just viewport scroll, and not while typing) when Sync Panes is on, reducing drift in header-sparse sections (#562, #563, #600) -- thanks @macnotes for the contribution!

Fixed
o Fix heading anchor links copied from GitHub-rendered Markdown not resolving for common headings: heading IDs now strip common punctuation such as em dashes and curly quotes, lowercase Latin-1 letters, and preserve hyphen...
