NATIVE PERFORMANCERust + GPUI
Rust + GPUI
Built native
Launch light and edit smoothly. Preview, outline, and statistics are cached by document version, so even complex files stay responsive.
Markion BUILT FOR FOCUSED WRITING
Markdown,
made for focus.
Markion is a native desktop editor built with Rust and GPUI. Move freely between source, visual editing, and live preview—so the tool fades back and your ideas move forward.

100%Native desktop experience
.mdMarkdown is always the single source of truth
MITOpen source and fully in your control
No Electron, Tauri, or WebView.
Just a fast, lightweight, predictable writing tool.
01SHIFT WITH YOUR IDEAS
One Markdown file. Four ways to see it.
As precise as writing code, as natural as writing prose. Switch views without losing your document, cursor, selection, or undo history.
Keep source and preview side by side. Enable position-aware sync scroll in Preferences.
Each capture shows the same sample document. Use Cmd instead of Ctrl on macOS.
02COMPLETE, NEVER CLUTTERED
Everything writing needs. Nothing it doesn't.
From workspaces to export, equations to interface languages, Markion brings professional power into a calm, clear experience.
A workspace that stays organized
Drag files or folders to move them, copy absolute or relative paths, and keep open tabs mapped to their new locations. Window bounds, sidebar width, and split ratio return on the next launch.

Visual editing, without giving up source
Edit rendered content and table cells directly. Use slash commands, block reordering, natural blank lines, and content-aware table columns.

Complex content, clearly rendered
Preview GFM tables, task lists, footnotes, emoji, images, syntax highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, and mathematical notation as you write.

Your environment, your way
Choose from 14 built-in themes and 7 languages. Set source, reading, and code fonts, font sizes, and paragraph spacing in Appearance.
From Markdown to anywhere
Export with built-in PDF / DOCX by default, or choose Pandoc. PNG / JPEG create layout snapshots of text, tables, code, and images.

03FROM DRAFT TO PUBLISH
Give every paragraph its place.
Open the local MarkNice workspace. Choose from 15 themes, adjust typography, and switch between desktop and phone previews.
Import Word, copy Markdown, save HTML or Word, or print the themed preview to PDF. Browser edits stay in the current session.
Explore the WeChat workflow ↗Local images require separate handling when copying to WeChat. Browser edits do not automatically update the original document.
04CONFIDENCE IN EVERY DETAIL
Your words,
always in your control.
Standard Markdown is the only data format. Atomic writes, autosave, recovery snapshots, and external-change detection quietly protect every edit.
- ✓Opening a file never replaces an unsaved draft
- ✓Choose Save, Don’t Save, or Cancel when closing
- ✓Turn off silent saving while keeping crash recovery
- 01
Save
Save changes before closing. Untitled documents ask for a destination.
- 02
Don’t Save
Discard changes explicitly and retire their recovery snapshots.
- 03
Cancel
Keep your documents open and carry on writing.
05CONTINUALLY REFINED
Small details. Better writing.
Recent releases refine the details of everyday writing, editing, and sharing.
