Mditoor is a free, open-source desktop Markdown and MDX editor designed specifically for developers who blog. It streamlines the entire writing workflow, allowing you to write .md/.mdx posts, edit frontmatter, compress images, and publish directly using Git, all from a single desktop application.

• Write blog posts and capture ideas: Utilize a block editor with a slash menu, or work directly in raw Markdown. The frontmatter editor transforms YAML into an intuitive form with fields for dates, selects, tags, and image pickers.

• Manage content efficiently: Browse all your blog posts as a gallery or list, easily identify drafts, and manage metadata.

• Optimize images: Compress, resize, and sharpen images upon import to ensure your blog remains fast. An asset gallery helps identify and clean up unused images.

• Support for multiple frameworks and repositories: Mditoor works with your existing repositories and supports popular static site generators like Next.js, Astro, Hugo, Jekyll, Docusaurus, Eleventy, and Nuxt Content, with a generic preset for other setups.

• Integrated Git functionality: Manage your Git workflow directly within the app, including viewing status, diffs, staging, committing, pulling, and pushing.

• Local-first and privacy-focused: Mditoor is a local-first desktop app with no account, telemetry, or cloud sync. Your data remains on your machine, and network usage is limited to Git operations and triggered uploads.

• RTL and LTR support: Write seamlessly in both right-to-left and left-to-right languages, with automatic direction detection per block. The UI is available in English, Arabic, and French.

• SEO checks: Get insights on title length, description, headings, and links before publishing.

• MDX friendly: Imports and JSX components are preserved, ensuring your MDX files are handled correctly without rewriting.

• Tiny and native: Built with Tauri and Rust, Mditoor offers a ~4 MB installer that launches instantly.

Mditoor acts as a local, Git-based CMS for your static sites, offering a powerful yet simple writing experience without any vendor lock-in.
