Work in real folders
Grant only the workspaces you want DocBlocks to use. The desktop app reads and writes inside those registered roots instead of hiding files in an application database.
DocBlocks Desktop
Your Markdown. Your folders. A native window.
Bring the complete DocBlocks editing experience to macOS, Windows, or Linux. Work
directly with folders you choose, keep ordinary .md files on disk, and
export polished documents without handing your source to a hosted editor.
One editor, native capabilities
A desktop workflow without document lock-in.
The desktop renderer uses the same DocBlocks shell as the web app, then adds a narrow, security-conscious bridge for native folders and operating-system features. Your document remains Markdown whether you open it in DocBlocks, Git, a terminal, or another editor.
Write three ways
Move between rich visual editing, raw Markdown source, and Play views for documents, slideshows, pages, and video-oriented presentation.
Export from the same source
Turn one Markdown document into PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, and other supported formats while keeping the original readable and version-control friendly.
