Most writing apps want to be everything.
Antigone wants to be one thing.
Note-taking apps became databases.
Document editors became collaboration suites.
Markdown editors became developer tools.
Antigone is just a writing app.
Open it. Write. Close it.
Your words live in plain .md files —
readable anywhere, forever.
Write markdown on the left, see the preview on the right. Switch to full editor or full preview anytime.
Dim every line except the one you're writing. Stay in the moment.
White, Parchment, Sepia, and Midnight. A theme for every mood and every hour.
Add #tags anywhere in your document. Find everything instantly.
Every action has a shortcut. Your hands never leave the keys.
Standard .md files. No proprietary format. No lock-in. Edit in any app.
No loading screens. No splash page. Opens in under a second.
Your files never leave your Mac. No account. No cloud. No tracking.
Tables, task lists, footnotes, callouts, emoji, highlight, and more.
Clean and bright. The classic writing environment.
Warm cream. Easy on the eyes for long sessions.
Deep warmth. Like writing on aged paper.
Dark and focused. For late-night writers.
See your markdown rendered in real time. Split view keeps your source and preview in perfect sync — scroll together, write freely.
Switch to editor-only when you need to focus. Preview-only when you want to read.
Focus mode dims every line except the one you're writing. Your attention stays exactly where it needs to be.
Press Escape to return to the world.
Four carefully designed themes ship with Antigone. White and Parchment are free. Sepia and Midnight unlock with Pro.
One click to switch. Instant. Beautiful.
