Blakedown help
1.0.3 · Package inspected 2026-09-05
The current download contains Apple Silicon code. A universal update is in preparation. The existing app is notarized, but its package needs a metadata repair to pass the new strict verification standard.
Install
Download the DMG, open it, and copy Blakedown to Applications. The current download requires macOS 15 or newer and Apple Silicon.
Get started
Open a Markdown file to read it. Changes saved by your editor reload in place. Use Command-F to find text and Command-D for a second pane.
Permissions and privacy
Blakedown reads the files you open and their local changes. It requires no account. Its update checker contacts the download service.
Recovery and uninstall
Quit and reopen the app if a document stops refreshing; your source file remains in its original location.
To uninstall, quit Blakedown and move it from Applications to the Trash. Keep your documents.
Release information and changes
Current download: 1.0.3. The next package adds Intel code and a clean staging and verification process.
