marka.md is local-first.
we collect nothing.

what stays on your computer

• the markdown files you open or edit — they remain in the folders you chose. we never move, copy, or upload them.
• your ui preferences (theme, sidebar width, recent file list, splitter ratio, welcome-tutorial flag) — stored in the app's local localStorage, keyed under mdview.*. clearing the app data resets these to defaults.

what we don't do

• no network requests are made by the app — no CDN, no fonts loaded remotely, no telemetry beacons.
• no third-party scripts, no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting.
• no account creation, no sync service, no remote storage.
• no crash reports or usage stats are sent anywhere.

third-party assets (bundled, not fetched)

• shiki (code syntax highlighting), katex (math), mermaid (diagrams) — these libraries are bundled inside the app and run entirely on your device. they do not call home.
• system fonts only — sf pro, jetbrains mono. no webfont fetches.

your data is yours

marka.md works because your notes are just files on disk. delete the app, your notes stay. move them, rename them, sync them with whatever you like — marka.md has no opinion. there is no proprietary format, no database, no lock-in.

about this website

this notice is about the marka.md app. the landing site you're reading right now (markamd.vercel.app) uses vercel web analytics and speed insights:

• cookieless — no tracking cookies set, no fingerprinting.
• aggregated only — anonymized page-view counts and core-web-vitals timing. no individual identifiers, no cross-site tracking.
• first-party — data stays in vercel's analytics dashboard. nothing is shared with third parties or ad networks.
• see vercel's own privacy commitment at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

the app itself — the markdown editor you install on your mac — does not load this analytics. only the website does. the app stays fully local-only as described above.

distribution

the macOS dmg is published on github releases. downloads happen directly from github's CDN; they do not pass through any server we control. github's own privacy policy applies to the download itself.
