Introduction

Marka is an industrial-grade Markdown editor built for writers, technical authors, and developers who value clarity, speed, and precision. It strips away every UI clutter so you can concentrate on your ideas.

Why Marka?

Most modern Markdown editors are bloated electron shells with cluttered toolbars and drifting scroll positions. Marka takes a different path.

Reduce distractions. Let writing be what it should be.

Marka provides a clean, split-pane environment: raw GFM Markdown on the left, beautifully rendered HTML on the right. Both panels scroll in 1:1 synchronization without cumulative vertical line drift.

Key Highlights

1. Pixel-Perfect Line Height Alignment — 0px vertical drift across 200+ lines using measured preferredLineHeight and centered StrutStyle.

2. Single-File System Association — Double-click any .md file to open immediately, automatically mounting its parent directory into the sidebar file tree.

3. Native Packaging — Official RPM packages for Fedora 44/RHEL, DEB packages for Ubuntu/Debian, universal AppImage, macOS DMG/ZIP, and Windows EXE.

4. Catppuccin Aesthetics — Hand-crafted Morandi color palettes with full GFM header ladders.

5. Offline-First & Local Privacy — Pure plain text Markdown stored on your local disk. No cloud lock-in, no telemetry.
