How to install LiteMD on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for LiteMD and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 0.1.5 from gentpan's own GitHub release.
  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to LiteMD show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: LiteMD-0.1.5.dmg (12 MB).

What is new in LiteMD 0.1.5

## 更新内容

- 新功能：浏览 S3 文档。列出 S3 或 R2 存储桶里的所有 Markdown，下载到本地编辑，改完可以上传覆盖，也可以只留在本地；S3 上的版本在下载之后被改过时，上传前会先提醒（文件 → 浏览 S3 文档…）
- 修复：文档以表格结尾时，实时预览中表格最后一行显示偏高

第一次下载 S3 文档时，macOS 会询问是否允许 LiteMD 访问“文稿”文件夹（文件下载到 `~/Documents/LiteMD/S3/`），点“允许”即可。

## What's new

- New: Browse S3 Documents. List every Markdown file in an S3 or R2 bucket, download one to edit, then upload it to replace the S3 copy or keep it local. If the S3 copy changed after you downloaded it, LiteMD asks before uploading (File → Browse S3 Documents…).
- Fixed: in Live Preview, the last row of a table at the end of a document was too tall.

The first time you download an S3 document, macOS asks whether LiteMD may access your Documents folder (files go to `~/Documents/LiteMD/S3/`). Choose Allow.
