HashdraftA fast, focused Markdown editor.
A fast, focused Markdown reader and editor for Windows. Works entirely on your computer — no account or cloud service required.
Split mode — source and rendered document, side by side
Read, write, and preview in one place
Switch modes at any time. Split mode keeps the source and preview aligned as you scroll.
Write comfortably
Markdown with syntax highlighting, line numbers, live counts, and formatting shortcuts.
Read the finished page
Distraction-free reading, printing, and checking the final layout — with zoom and themes.
Source beside preview
Edit the source and watch the rendered document update beside it, scrolling in sync.
The essentials for everyday Markdown
Write comfortably
Find & replace, go-to-line, a document outline, drag-and-drop, and a recent-files list.
Clean native preview
Read tables, clickable task lists, footnotes, wiki links, and highlighted code without opening a browser tab.
Math & front matter
Inline and display LaTeX, YAML front matter, and common HTML mixed into Markdown.
Share the result
Export to PDF, a standalone HTML file with embedded images, or print directly.
Make it yours
Light or dark theme, three accents, serif or sans reading font, text size and column width.
Local and protected
Your files stay on your computer. Recovery snapshots protect unfinished drafts, and external changes do not overwrite unsaved edits.
Stay in flow, even in long documents
Hashdraft keeps the editor responsive while Preview is prepared in the background. You can continue writing as large documents render instead of waiting for the whole document to finish.
