Unmarked opens your file and gets out of the way

Double-click a Markdown file and Unmarked opens to your document. Rendered, with a word count in the status bar, and nothing else competing for your attention. The file you opened is the whole surface. That is the idea.

Most apps in this space grow outward. A sidebar of every file you own, a vault, a graph of how your notes connect. Each is useful to someone, and each one also asks you to stop reading the page in front of you and start tending the collection around it. You rename. You reorganize. You start worrying about where things live instead of what they say.

Unmarked points the other way. It opens one document so the document is the thing you are actually looking at. It launches fast, because there is no library to index. And it stays one predictable shape, so the app you used last week is the app you open today.

Your files are already organized. They sit in folders on your disk, and the Finder is very good at folders. Unmarked opens whatever you hand it, saves your edits straight back in place, and steps aside. Keep your files in iCloud Drive or Dropbox and they follow you across machines on their own. The app doesn't need to own your filing system to open a file well.

On a feature list, focus looks like less. In practice it is the part most apps do worst, because they are busy doing ten other jobs at once. You still read your notes one at a time. Unmarked is built for that, and it puts everything into it.
