Availability
Two channels, one product, different public versions
LoveMarkDown 1.1.4 is available now as signed and Apple-notarized Direct downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Choose the package that matches the processor shown in About This Mac.
Version 1.1.4 has also been submitted to the Mac App Store and is awaiting Apple review. The current public App Store version remains 1.1.2, so the Direct and App Store channels should not be treated as the same release yet.
Direct-download builds can check for a signed update and install it only after the user chooses to proceed. Mac App Store builds continue to use Apple’s store-managed update path.

FAQ
LoveMarkDown download questions
Check files, images, export, network behavior, and feedback before or after installation.
Which LoveMarkDown download should I choose?
Choose the Apple Silicon Direct download for an M-series Mac or the Intel Direct download for an older Intel-based Mac. Direct version 1.1.4 is available now. The public Mac App Store version remains 1.1.2 while Apple reviews 1.1.4.
Does LoveMarkDown upload my Markdown files?
No. LoveMarkDown does not automatically upload Markdown document content, file names, or full local file paths.
What file types can I open?
LoveMarkDown is positioned for local .md, .markdown, and .txt files opened from the File menu or by drag and drop.
How do Find and Replace work in LoveMarkDown?
Press Cmd+F to open Find, Cmd+R to replace the current match, or Cmd+Shift+R to replace all matches. The result count, previous and next navigation, and matched highlights stay synchronized between Edit and Preview.
How do I save a new untitled document?
For a new untitled document, Save or Cmd+S opens the native destination picker. For an opened local file, Save writes back to that file. Draft autosave is for recovery and does not replace choosing a destination.
How do relative images work?
Relative image preview works when the Markdown document references nearby local image files, such as images stored next to the document or inside a relative folder. Version 1.1.4 also handles files whose extension does not match their actual image format and applies safe Pandoc width, height, class, and ID attributes without showing the attribute text in Preview or exports.
Which export formats are supported?
LoveMarkDown supports export to Markdown, HTML, Word, PDF, and PNG. Direct version 1.1.4 keeps PDF text searchable through the primary native path and produces sharper PDF and PNG output.
When does Web-to-Markdown use the network?
Web-to-Markdown uses the network only when the user enters a URL and asks LoveMarkDown to convert that page. Ordinary local editing does not require this network request.
How are LoveMarkDown updates installed?
Direct-download builds can check for a signed NgSense update and install it only after you choose to proceed. Mac App Store installations do not use the Direct update feed and continue to update through Apple.
What is sent when I use Help -> Send Feedback?
Feedback is sent only when the user submits it. Contact information is optional, and LoveMarkDown does not automatically attach Markdown content, file names, full paths, or screenshots.
