Private setup planner

Find the shortest accurate setup path.

Choose three fixed answers. The planner does not read a file or collect a filename, path, document, query value, or account detail.

01 Which LoveMarkDown edition is installed?
02 Which extension are you opening?
03 What do you see in Finder?
Your document stays out of this planner. Only fixed anonymous result and experiment buckets can enter aggregate analytics.

Direct

Version 1.2.1

Signed Apple Silicon and Intel packages remain unchanged and do not include the in-app request described here.

macOS
