FoldingText
FoldingText is a markdown text editor designed for productivity and organization. It combines traditional text editing with outline and list-management features, allowing users to write, organize, and structure content hierarchically. The app is popular among writers, academics, and knowledge workers who prefer a lightweight, distraction-free environment for composing and organizing notes, essays, and projects. Its markdown support and fold/unfold capabilities make it well-suited for managing complex documents and nested information.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionFoldingText version 2.2 (the latest known version) does not have a native Apple Silicon build. According to Homebrew package data, FoldingText is marked as unmaintained and deprecated, indicating the developer is no longer actively working on the app. Since native Apple Silicon support is unlikely to arrive, you should consider switching to an alternative. We recommend **Obsidian** or **iA Writer**, both of which offer native Apple Silicon support, strong markdown editing, and organizational features similar to FoldingText. Obsidian is particularly good if you value outline/hierarchy and backlinking; iA Writer excels if you prioritize a distraction-free writing experience. Both are actively maintained and will continue to receive updates on Apple Silicon Macs.
