Both current install channels offer an explicit request; macOS still asks you to confirm.
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. Your choices are not sent. Download link clicks use the site's anonymous analytics.
Channel facts

The setup path depends on how LoveMarkDown was installed.

Keep the public App Store and Direct versions separate before troubleshooting Finder.

US App Store

Version 1.3.0

Includes the in-app default-editor request for supported Markdown extensions. Checked October 15, 2026; other storefront availability may differ.

Direct

Version 1.3.0

One signed universal download for Apple Silicon and Intel includes the same user-controlled default-editor request.

macOS

You confirm the change

LoveMarkDown never changes the default automatically. The system confirmation remains the final user-controlled step.

FAQ

Default editor and privacy boundaries

What the planner can explain, and what remains a local macOS choice.

Does this planner change my default app?

No. It only explains a documented path. Current App Store and Direct builds can start a request, and macOS asks you to confirm the change.

Which LoveMarkDown version includes the in-app request?

The request is included in the current US Mac App Store 1.3.0 and signed Direct 1.3.0 builds. Other storefront availability may differ.

Which Markdown extensions are covered?

The documented registration covers .md, .markdown, .mdown, and .mkd files.

Does the planner read or upload a Markdown file?

No. It accepts fixed choices only and does not access a file, filename, local path, document content, URL, account, or clipboard.
