Pine is a lightweight, native macOS markdown editor written in Swift that follows Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. It offers live preview with syntax highlighting, GitHub Flavored Markdown, LaTeX math rendering, theming, tabs, and a folder sidebar.
Use cases
- write markdown documents on a mac with live preview
- edit github-flavored markdown files with syntax highlighting
- render latex math equations inside markdown notes
- theme a markdown editor with custom css
- manage multiple markdown files in tabs and folders
- lightweight minimal markdown app for macos
When to choose
- you want a native, fast, minimal markdown editor on macOS
- you need GFM, LaTeX math, and emoji support in one editor
- you want themes, tabs, and a file sidebar without an electron app
When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform editor (macOS only)
- you need collaborative editing or cloud sync
- you need a plugin ecosystem or heavy IDE features
- you need active development - the project has seen no releases since late 2022
