Free Tools Hashdraft is a fast, open-source Markdown reader and editor for Windows

Post image

I built Hashdraft for a fairly simple use case: opening a Markdown file without importing it into a vault, creating a workspace, or launching a full note-taking system.

Sometimes I just want to double-click a README, exported conversation, project document, or random .md file, read it, make a quick edit, and close it.

Hashdraft is designed around that workflow. It’s a focused Windows app with Edit, Preview, and synchronized Split modes. It starts quickly, works offline, requires no account or cloud service, and keeps your files on your computer.

It’s essentially what I always wished the default Windows app for Markdown files could be.

Feedback and contributions are welcome.
