MiaoYan is a lightweight, native Swift Markdown note-taking app for macOS with a minimalist three-column layout, split editor and preview, and local-first plain-file storage. It supports wikilink backlinks, LaTeX, Mermaid diagrams, version history, and syncing via any cloud-drive folder like iCloud Drive.
Use cases
- write markdown notes on mac
- minimalist distraction-free markdown editor
- local-first note-taking app without accounts
- take notes stored as plain markdown files in icloud
- edit markdown with latex and mermaid preview
- lightweight alternative to obsidian or notion for notes
When to choose
- you want a fast native macOS markdown editor instead of an Electron app
- you prefer notes as plain local markdown files synced via your own cloud drive
- you want a simple, minimalist writing app without heavy plugin ecosystems
When to avoid
- you need cross-platform apps on Windows or Linux
- you need deep plugin ecosystems, databases, or Notion/Obsidian-style features
- you need built-in cloud sync accounts or WebDAV login
