Scriva: Markdown & Text Editor
Scriva is a fast, native Mac text editor built for Markdown and code. Write with live preview, edit JSON, CSV and HTML with dedicated viewers, work across whole folders with find & replace, and keep every unsaved change safe across relaunches — all without an account, without tracking, and without your files ever leaving your Mac.
macOS 27 or later · English & Turkish
Write on one side. See your finished document on the other. Pro adds live preview with synchronized scrolling, tables, task lists and highlighted code blocks, plus Markdown formatting tools. Markdown syntax highlighting stays free.
Scriva Pro
Scriva Pro gives JSON a collapsible tree, CSV a readable table and HTML a local preview. Validate and format JSON, inspect data, and keep editing in the same app. Remote resources are blocked in the HTML preview.
Scriva Pro
The tool rail adapts to HTML, CSS, JSON and CSV. These format buttons are free; the snippet palette is a Pro feature. The last column shows the free version, with Pro buttons dimmed.
Pro’s snippet palette includes HTML5 documents, tables, forms and lists; CSS media queries, flexbox, grid, variables and dark-mode patterns; JSON templates such as package.json and tsconfig.json; and CSV header and delimiter transformations.
Scriva ProSave your own snippets for all files or a specific format. Create one from selected text with New Snippet…, then manage it in Settings › Snippets. $SELECTION inserts the selected text; $CURSOR sets the insertion point.
Keep a folder beside your editor for free. Pro adds multiple folders and find & replace across files, with case, whole-word and regex options. Preview and select matches before replacing.
Pro’s emoji and bullet palettes sit alongside the list tools and outline. Add the finishing touches without interrupting your writing.

Downloading, editing and saving are free. Choose Pro when you need previews, structured viewers and folder-wide tools.
