Pick MacDown if…
MacDown suits macOS writers and developers who want a free local Markdown editor with live preview and configurable rendering. It is less suitable for users needing cloud sync, VIM mode, or another operating system.
Pick Markra if…
Markra suits people writing notes, drafts, product documentation, research writing, or technical documents in Markdown. It may appeal to users who want local files and AI-assisted review, provided they configure an AI provider for those features.
