What is Lettera?
Lettera is a native Markdown editor for macOS designed for writing everything from single notes to larger folder-based documentation projects. It gives users an editor-focused view for quick work on individual Markdown files, while also supporting workspace-style browsing so you can manage multiple files and folders from a sidebar. The app includes live rendering, rich text styling, tables, inline images, and support for math and LaTeX-style content, which makes it useful for technical writing, notes, and publishing workflows. It also offers a table of contents and document statistics so you can navigate long documents and keep track of writing progress more easily. Multiple tabs, quick search, flexible copy and share options, and export formats such as PDF, PNG, and ePub make it suitable for drafting, reviewing, and preparing finished documents. Lettera is published by Shinyfrog and is aimed at Mac users who want a focused Markdown writing environment.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Lettera is a legitimate writing app for macOS. Access to your files is normal for a Markdown editor because it needs to open, save, organize, and export documents you choose to work on. As with any document editor, the practical privacy consideration is the content you store in its workspaces and any cloud-synced folders you use.
Recommendation: Keep Lettera if you use it for Markdown writing, documentation, or notes on your Mac. Remove it if you no longer use it, but expect to lose its app-specific settings and convenience features unless your documents are stored separately in regular folders or cloud storage.
