Drop anything, get Markdown back — on your Mac

Most file-to-Markdown tools rely on cloud processing. Markedly runs entirely on your Mac — no uploads, no accounts, no internet required. It outputs GitHub Flavored Markdown, so it works natively with Obsidian, Bear, Notion, and AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT. Supports DOCX, PDF, XLSX, CSV, and images with OCR. Free, with an optional donation to FA research.

Hey Product Hunt — I'm George, the designer and developer behind Markedly. I built it to solve a specific friction: getting documents into Obsidian or feeding files into AI tools cleanly. Markdown is what note-taking apps and AI tools naturally read and write, but most files aren't in that format. Markedly fixes that step. Drop in a file, get clean GFM back, done. Supported formats: DOCX, DOC, RTF, HTML, PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV, TSV, and images (PNG, JPG, TIFF, HEIC, GIF, BMP) with OCR for text extraction. Batch convert a whole folder at once. Works with Shortcuts and the Finder Services menu too. It's free, and always will be. Instead of a price, there's an optional donation link to the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance, a nonprofit funding research into a progressive neurological condition with no known cure that directly affects my family. If Markedly saves you time, consider passing it forward. Feedback welcome on the app or the listing.

Hey everyone — wanted to drop an update here for anyone who found Markedly through the original launch.

Just shipped v1.1, and it's a big one: you can now convert files right from Finder's right-click menu (no need to open the app at all), and convert straight from your clipboard in both directions — copy something in, or select text in any app and turn it into Markdown on your clipboard with one menu item.

Also cleaned up the Markdown output itself: proper GFM list nesting, fenced code blocks, table alignment markers. Still free, still fully local (nothing ever leaves your Mac), still zero third-party dependencies.

Thanks to everyone who tried it at launch and sent feedback — a good chunk of this update came directly from that. Grab the update on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/markedly/id6760626933?mt=12
