> A focused Markdown and text editor for macOS

kayet is a free, open-source text editor for macOS that keeps interface controls out of the way while you write. Its optional Zen mode centers the current line and dims surrounding paragraphs, and a live Markdown preview shows formatting as you type. An optional workspace tree, document tabs, file search, and a command palette make it practical for working across a folder of notes.

Documents can be exported as HTML or PDF, and Markdown sections can become a simple presentation. The editor backs up unsaved changes, restores tabs, and supports native spell checking. Settings and themes are configurable through a local TOML file, with native downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
