We host no installers. Every download link goes to its original source. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

MarkText FAQ

Is MarkText safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-06 we downloaded the latest 2 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 2 of 2 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 0 valid, 2 not signed.

VirusTotal: none of its 57 security engines flagged any of the 2 scanned files.

Our rating: Safe. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: MarkText’s official website.

Does MarkText update itself after I install an old version?

We cannot say for certain. We do not have data on whether MarkText updates itself, and many apps check for updates and offer to install them. Look for an update setting in MarkText (see MarkText’s documentation) before you rely on an older version.

Does MarkText cost anything?

No. MarkText is free and open source (license: MIT).

Which versions of MarkText are listed here, and how far back?

We list 11 versions, from 0.16.2 up to 0.23.0. This page shows all of them.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: MarkText’s official website.
