Zettlr: Open-source Free Markdown editor for professionals

Zettlr is a free open-source Markdown editor for professional writers, developers, researchers, journalists, bloggers and content creators.

It allows you to write your files in a Markdown format and make a use of the YAML header metadata that is widely used by many ope-source blogging platforms.

With Zettlr you can open a folder that contains several Markdown files, open many of them using the handy tabbed interface, browse your files content easily, and connect your file knowledge.

Researchers would love Zettler, as it comes with citiations support, Zotero integration, full Zettelkasten support, multi-languages support, word counter, writing statistics and more.

Another reason why we love Zettler, is its ability to handle large Markdown files, and its fast built-in full-text search.
