Write without
the noise.

Rune is a focused, fast markdown writer for desktop. Code, diagrams, math, and tables turn live as you type — while the page stays calm. Built in Rust.


This is Rune.

Your folder in the sidebar, your documents in tabs, your words rendered as you write — no split pane, no preview window. This is the whole app.

Type. Watch it render.

A live taste of Rune's inline preview. Click any line to edit it — the line you're on shows raw markdown, the rest stay formatted. No split pane, no toggle.
