This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Write Markdown on Mac and iPhone with typeface and page controls, slash commands and structured blocks. Mac libraries use ordinary Markdown files. Export Markdown, HTML or PDF. Local editing and export are free; optional iCloud sync is paid. Product Hunt offer: 1 year of Beauty Maximus iCloud sync free with PRODUCTHUNT. No auto-renewal. Available to new, current and former subscribers; up to 25,000 redemptions.
The world doesn't need another Markdown editor. I still made one.
Beauty is a free, powerful, on-device greco-roman Markdown editor that is purposefully human-centric without being anti-AI.
Available for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Web.
I was frustrated with writing apps, and like most I used Apple Notes. After 2+ years immersed in Cursor, Codex and CC, I wished some interactions existed in a text editor.
You can use / to add styles, : to add emojis, shortcuts like < 3 for a heart, - > for an arrow, and so on. It honestly feels great.
Is it radically different than other editors? I don't think so. But I think it's well executed across every dimension.
Even though I’m not anti-AI, the debate is relevant. Beauty is 100% local. No server, no logins, no analytics. Sharing features (like live editing) use P2P and WebRTC with E2E cryptography. The limitation here is that you can only share a file while having it open yourself.
Great care was taken to performance and portability. The Mac binary is ~50mb, no Electron. While using, you will notice that rendering, GPU, RAM were heavily optimized.
The app is free, but there’s an optional subscription for iCloud sync and some future upgrades. If you lacked a great text editor in your life, give it a try.
