Markdown is the plain-text format that Obsidian, Bear, and Notion natively speak — and what AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT read and write fastest. Clean Markdown saves time and precious tokens.
Drag & drop
Drop files onto the window or use ⌘O. Drag in a whole folder and Markedly finds every supported file inside automatically. Converted files are saved right alongside your originals.
Fully local
No uploads, no accounts, no analytics. All conversions run on-device, so your files stay private and the app works without an internet connection.
Shortcuts & Services
Convert files without opening the app. Works with the Shortcuts app for automations and the right-click Services menu in Finder for quick one-off conversions.
GitHub Flavored Markdown
Outputs GFM — the widely adopted standard that adds tables, strikethrough, task lists, and more on top of core Markdown. Natively supported by Obsidian, Notion, Bear, and most AI tools.

GeminiSupporting Friedreich’s Ataxia research
Markedly is free, and always will be. In place of a price tag, there’s a donation link to the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) — a nonprofit funding research into a progressive neurological condition with no known cure that directly impacts my family. If Markedly saves you time, consider passing it forward.
