Hey PH 👋

I've been building Mandrill, a fast, native macOS Markdown editor for people like me: developers, solopreneurs, and Vibe Coders who write everything in plain text.

The problem I kept running into: all my notes live in Markdown, all my work lives in GitHub, and yet every time I finished editing a file I had to flip to Terminal to commit and push. It's a small thing. But small things add up.

So I fixed it.

Mandrill now integrates natively with GitHub.

Open any folder that's backed by a Git repo; Mandrill detects it automatically and shows you that you're working in a version-controlled space. Edit your notes and modified files are flagged in the sidebar in real time. When you're done, push everything to GitHub in a single action. No Terminal. No context switching. No friction.

It's the workflow I always wanted: write in Mandrill, stay in Mandrill, ship from Mandrill.

What else Mandrill does:

📁 Folder browser: open a folder and see only your .md files in a clean sidebar
⬜ Split-view editing: raw Markdown on the left, live rendered preview on the right
◐ GitHub Light, Dark, and System themes
⟨⟩ Per-language syntax highlighting (Swift, Python, Go, Rust, JS/TS, and more)
✎ Live Markdown editor with a formatting toolbar
⊞ Full table support in reader and editor
🔒 100% offline. No accounts. No telemetry. Zero data collection.

If you keep your notes in a Git repo (and honestly, you should), this update is for you.

Would love to hear what you think; happy to answer any questions below! 🙏
