A field guide to focus
Good tools don’t demand attention. They make room for it.
Munin turns Markdown into a document as you type, while every character remains yours to inspect.
The document is the preview.
Native to macOS
Markdown,
without the machinery.
Write in beautifully rendered Markdown. Switch to the source whenever you need it. No second pane, no database, no Electron.
Ideas need somewhere
quiet to land.
Munin keeps the tools close and the machinery out of sight. What you write is always plain Markdown in a folder you choose.
“The document is the preview.”
What matters
- Your files remain yours
- Formatting stays editable
- Nothing interrupts the thought
One document. Two honest views.
Rendered when you want to write.
Raw when you need the truth.
Most editors make you pick a side. Munin gives you editable rendered and source modes, switching in place while preserving your position.

document as you type, while every
character remains yours to inspect.
> The document is the preview.Small app. Serious editor.
Built for files, not a platform.
Native speed you can measure
Type at full speed in a 50,000-word document. Munin responds in milliseconds, opens quickly, and stays out of your battery.

Your folder is the workspace
Open a folder and start. Keep several folders in titlebar tabs. No vault, index database, proprietary library, or sidecar files.
Ready for files that change
Git pulls, agents, and other editors can update a document while Munin preserves your cursor and scroll. Conflicting local text is kept in macOS file versions.
Tokens, not just words
See the token count alongside words and characters before your Markdown heads to an LLM.
Plain files. Fully local.
No account and no telemetry. Use Git, iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or nothing at all.
Know where you are
Source-accurate line numbers stay visible in rendered mode. An outline rail turns headings into a map you can navigate.
Smaller than a photo
The complete app is about 10 MB. It installs in seconds because macOS already provides the system frameworks it needs.
No “minimal” excuses
The rest of the editor is here too.
Munin keeps the interface quiet without leaving the useful parts out.
