Apostrophe

Apostrophe is a free Linux desktop Markdown editor designed for focused writing. Its interface includes a distraction-free mode and dark, light, and sepia themes. A live preview updates while a document is written, and built-in tools provide spellchecking and document statistics. Apostrophe exports documents to PDF, Word or LibreOffice, LaTeX, and HTML slideshows; ODT is also listed among its formats. The TexLive plugin enables PDF export and formula display in the inline preview. The Free plan costs nothing. The maker directs users to Flathub for the latest version, while the project issue tracker accepts bug reports and suggestions. The Apps for GNOME page lists version 3.5, released on 2026-10-08, and identifies Manuel Genovés as maintainer. Apostrophe is intended for Linux users who want Markdown drafting, an updating preview, editing checks, and several document-output options in one desktop application.

Apostrophe keeps Markdown writing focused while adding preview, editing tools, themes, and varied export options. Linux users should consider the Flathub installation route and TexLive requirement for PDF and formula features.

Apostrophe suits Linux writers who prefer Markdown and want a distraction-free interface with live preview. It also fits users needing exports to PDF, office documents, LaTeX, or HTML slideshows.
