  • Multiple "Source" Folders: You can now add any folder of Markdown files, and they will be updated automatically if you edit them from another application
  • "Live" Task Lists: task lists are “live” - click on the checkbox and it will be marked in the source document. Create a list of todos and check them off one by one as they get done, without having to directly edit the document
  • Dark Mode and Multiple Themes: _Normal_, _Solarized Dark_, and _Solarized Light_ themes for display and editing are provided, or you can create your own customized themes, whether it's making a small tweak to an existing theme or creating something entirely new. A "Dark Mode" is also provided
  • Touchbar Support
  • Click to Edit: When you're reading your notes, you can Cmd-click in the document to start editing at the closest paragraph
  • Back/Forward Navigation: It's now easy to display previous documents you viewed, just like you would in Safari
  • Bootstrap 4: The underlying framework has been upgraded to Bootstrap 4
  • Multiple Rows/Cols: When you want to be able to show your data in multiple columns, it's now possible with an easy to use syntax
  • QuickLook integration: With the embedded QuickLook plugin, your Markdown documents can now be viewed with QuickLook from the Finder
