CLUSTER FILES-LIVE-MACOS · 21 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-10
macOS Markdown live-reload editors
A set of native macOS apps for reading and editing local Markdown files, featuring live reload, live preview, and sometimes draft recovery. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from – it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders include ReadmeLens, loupe, and bloody-simple-markdown-viewer, each with 1 star on activity signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 1 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
