PanWriter is a free, open-source, distraction-free Markdown editor with tight pandoc integration for importing and exporting many document formats (docx, HTML, LaTeX, EPUB, PDF). It features a paginated preview pane that shows page breaks and layout adjustments in real time.

Use cases

  • write markdown with a paginated print preview
  • convert markdown to docx or latex without the command line
  • import a word document and edit it as markdown
  • export markdown to epub or pdf
  • distraction-free writing app for essays and reports

When to choose

  • you write in Markdown but need to deliver Word, LaTeX, EPUB, or PDF documents
  • you want pandoc's conversion power behind a simple GUI
  • you need to preview page breaks and print layout while writing

When to avoid

  • you need rich WYSIWYG word-processing features like fonts and styles editing
  • you don't want to install pandoc separately for most export formats
  • you need collaborative or cloud-based editing
