SoloMD
SoloMD is a local-first Markdown editor for macOS that helps you write, organize, and export plain-text notes and documents.
What is SoloMD?
SoloMD is a Markdown editor for macOS built for writing, note-taking, and managing plain-text knowledge files. It opens ordinary .md and .txt files stored in folders you choose, so your notes stay readable in other editors and workflows. The app supports live editing and preview, multi-window work, tabs, themes, export options, and structured note organization for personal or project-based writing. SoloMD also includes optional AI features, local search tools, and sync-oriented workflows for users who keep notes across devices or repositories. It is suited to writers, students, developers, and knowledge workers who want a native desktop editor focused on Markdown-based work. SoloMD is published by xiangdong li and is also available on other platforms, but this entry refers to the Mac app.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
SoloMD is a legitimate note-taking and writing app. Its normal behavior includes reading and saving files in the folders you open, storing optional AI or sync credentials in the macOS keychain, and keeping app settings in your Library folder. If you enable AI, sync, or external services, the content you choose to send may leave your Mac through those providers, so review those settings before using them with sensitive notes.
Recommendation: Keep SoloMD if you use it for Markdown writing, note organization, or document export. Remove it only if you no longer need the app; doing so will stop its editing features, but your notes remain as regular files in the folders where you saved them.
