Beautiful to read. Exact on disk.
A native Markdown editor that changes only what you type.
mote does not import, convert, or rebuild your Markdown.
Open a file. Edit it in place.
Save a diff you can trust.
Whitespace, line endings, tables, frontmatter, and everything you did not touch stay where they were.
Good typography is invisible until you look for it. Then it is everywhere: in the measure, the leading, and the small pause before a new paragraph.
Switching views never creates another document. Your cursor, position, and text stay exactly where they were.
When nothing happens, mote stops drawing.
No continuous rendering. No background indexing. No web engine keeping a text file alive.
View the benchmarks →CommonMark and GFM, tables, code, math, images, footnotes, outlines, search, focus mode, and PDF export.
Everything needed to write and read Markdown.
Nothing that turns it into another workspace.
No account. No proprietary library. No built-in sync.
No plugins, knowledge graph, collaboration layer, or AI.
Open a file or folder and use the tools you already trust.
Git, iCloud Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and Syncthing continue to work as they always have.
Beautiful while you write.
Predictable when you commit.
