Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A macOS Markdown writing app built around Chinese typography, distraction-free focus, one-click WeChat public-account export, and local files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The app uses ordinary folders as its document library rather than locking writing into a proprietary database, with Markdown files remaining on the user’s filesystem. Its Chinese-specific behavior includes sentence-aware focus mode, character-based word counts, native Chinese menus, and formatting-preserving export aimed at WeChat public-account publishing. The page also lists image drag-in, split preview, full-library search, and PDF, HTML, and DOCX export. Purchase is labeled as coming soon, with no price displayed.
