A native macOS Markdown editor

Preview and Source.
Both editable.

Edit the rendered Preview like a normal document, or work directly in Markdown Source. Use them side by side or separately—they stay in sync in the same plain .md file.

No vault. No proprietary format. Just your file, edited the way that fits the moment.

What makes Zizeg different

01

Edit either view

Preview and Source are equal editing surfaces, with the same toolbar, menus, and shortcuts.

02

Keep the real file

Work directly with ordinary Markdown on disk—no library, import step, or proprietary database.

03

Use Mac conventions

Native document tabs, menus, toolbar, autosave, Finder files, and independent typography for each view.

04

Control remote content

Remote images remain blocked until you approve them, without rewriting the Markdown behind your back.

Choose your view

One document. Three ways to work.

The document never changes format when you change views. Only the way you interact with it changes.

Preview

Edit the rendered document

Write with headings, lists, tables, links, and formatting shown in place—without giving up direct editing.

Source

Control the Markdown directly

Work with the syntax itself, with row numbers, Find, and the same formatting commands available in Preview.

Built for real Markdown workflows

The essentials—and the details that keep files usable.

Zizeg covers the expected Markdown tools, then adds careful handling for the files, images, safety, and exports around the document.

Headings and styles Lists and tasks Links and quotes Code and tables Undo, Find, autosave Light and dark themes
FORMATTING

One set of controls, in either editor

Use the toolbar, menus, or shortcuts in Preview or Source. Commands toggle formatting on and off, and Source always remains real Markdown.

FILES & IMAGES

Assets that travel with the document

Paste images into a sibling assets folder or embed them for single-file portability. Zizeg can repair asset paths after a Finder rename.

SAFETY

Safety without silent rewriting

Zizeg sanitizes when rendering or exporting, flags unsupported content, and asks before loading remote images. Your saved source remains yours.

EXPORT & NAVIGATION

Finish and move through larger documents

Navigate with a table of contents and row numbers, then export self-contained HTML or multi-page PDF with control over remote assets.

Especially useful for AI-generated Markdown

Markdown you can hand-edit—and hand back to your AI agent.

AI tools constantly produce READMEs, instruction files, specifications, plans, changelogs, and summaries. Review and correct them visually or in raw source while every document stays plain, portable Markdown.

Zizeg itself does not use AI or send your documents to an AI service. It simply makes the Markdown around AI-assisted work easier to maintain.
