Ghostmd: Ghostty but for Markdown Notes

The opinions

  • Notes are ~/Documents/ghostmd/*.md. Not a database. Not synced to our servers. Files on your disk, forever yours.
  • Markdown is already beautiful. We don’t render it. We don’t preview it. You read it raw, the way it was meant to be.
  • No images. If you need images, you need a different tool. This is for words.
  • No config files. No themes. No plugins. We made the choices so you can focus on making the words.
  • Diary entries get a path: diary/2026/march/03/. You don’t pick it. The date does.
  • AI helps you think, not format. Titles, search, suggestions — never decoration.
  • Native macOS, GPU‑accelerated via Metal. Opens before your finger leaves the key. Quits without asking.
