Typora
A Markdown editor that shows formatting as you type
Mac$14.99 once
The verdict
There is no preview pane in Typora, because headings, tables, math and Mermaid diagrams render in place the moment you type the Markdown. It exports to PDF, Word, LaTeX and EPUB, and themes are plain CSS. A $14.99 license covers 3 devices across Mac, Windows and Linux after a 15-day trial, but MarkEdit is free and enough if you don't need to see the finished look while writing.
Get it if
You write in Markdown but want the page to look like a finished document while you write.
Skip it if
You are fine looking at raw Markdown symbols; MarkEdit is a free, native editor that does that well.
