Notula
Read, edit and comment on the Markdown in your git repo
Your team's documentation lives as Markdown files in GitHub, GitLab or any git repo, and there is still no good way to work with it. Notula opens those files like Google Docs: a tree of documents, editing with no Markdown syntax on screen, comments on any passage with replies and resolve. Every file stays plain Markdown in your own repo, committed and synced in the background. Free, for macOS and Windows.
Your documentation moved into the repo. The tools to work with it did not.
If your team keeps docs as .md files in GitHub, GitLab or a self-hosted repo, everyone who is not comfortable in a code editor is locked out. They read raw Markdown on a web page, or you export to Google Docs and nobody merges it back. The editors that exist are built for one person and a local folder - the repo, the review and the other people are somebody else's problem.
Notula points at a repository and shows the Markdown, nothing else: a tree of documents, no source files, however big the repo is. The editor hides the syntax completely, including on the line the cursor is on. Comments anchor to a quoted passage, with replies and resolve, and live in an append-only log, so two people commenting at once cannot produce a merge conflict.
Git happens in the background. It commits and syncs, and every command carries an explicit pathspec, so only doc files move. It never stages your worktree, never stashes, never rewrites history, never creates or switches a branch. It speaks git and nothing else, so it works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted, or no remote at all.
The file on disk stays ordinary Markdown. Opening and saving it without editing produces a byte-identical file - that is a test, not a promise.
Three things up front. It is free, always: no account and no server. It is closed source; your files, your git and your remote stay yours, and the app keeps nothing of its own. And the builds are not signed: on macOS, Gatekeeper says the app is damaged, and the download page gives you the one Terminal command that clears it; on Windows, SmartScreen hides Run anyway behind More info.
