MarkPane
The most beautiful Markdown viewer/editor for macOS
What this is
A native Mac app for viewing and editing local Markdown files — READMEs, docs, notes — entirely offline, no GitHub connection required.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A native macOS app that opens local Markdown and plain-text files (.md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, .txt), lets you browse folders of related documents, renders them in a dedicated viewer, and provides source editing, search, task-list updates and typography controls.
- What's different
- Documents are processed entirely locally on the Mac — no account and no upload of Markdown content.
- Best for
- People working with local Markdown notes, READMEs, technical documentation or project specs on macOS.

Where it shows up
Every group here is a page of its own — each one checked daily.
The numbersIs it still shipping, is it overpriced, where did it land — and what the price is built from.
League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Dev. Launched 16d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #500. Today, it's been quiet for 15 days and the price has started to bleed.
Already bleeding a little every day, and it accelerates the longer it stays quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
Shipping record
1 separate day we saw this ship · source: app store release
Beyan değil kanıt: founder “çalışıyoruz” diye post atabilir, ama sevk ettiyse izi kalır. ⚠️ Kaydı olmayan ürün “sevk etmedi” demek değildir — o üründe izleyecek bir kaynağımız yok demektir.
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It placed #500 on PeerPush with 7 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 4 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 16 olay var. 1 quiet day in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
