What is the best way to edit local Markdown files on a Mac?

The main choice is whether an editor keeps your notes as ordinary files or imports them into its own store. An editor that works directly on the files leaves them readable by anything else. PX7 Markdown Write edits plain .md files in place, with no vault and no import step.

Can I edit Markdown with a live preview?

Yes. A split preview updates as you type and stays scroll-synced with the source, so long documents do not drift out of alignment.

Does PX7 Markdown Write support wikilinks?

Yes, with autocomplete as you type them, alongside an outline for navigating by heading and a command palette.

Does the app store my notes in its own database?

No. Your notes stay as ordinary Markdown files in your own folders — nothing is imported, and nothing is uploaded.
