Markdown Editors

If you want to work directly with Markdown files, these are three editors worth a look. The right choice depends on whether you want a collaborative document editor, a personal knowledge base, or a lightweight writing tool.

• Colibri — a collaborative Markdown editor for GitHub repositories. It brings a Google Docs-style editing experience to a Markdown workflow. Colibri launched in 2026 and is proprietary software.
• Obsidian — a local-first knowledge base for writing and linking Markdown notes. It is a good fit when your files and connections matter as much as the editor itself.
• Jotbird — a lightweight Markdown writing tool.
