Typora 1.14.15 on Mac

Typora 1.14 changes how you work with Markdown. The new floating editor toolbar replaces the old preview window, and the inline preview means what you type is what you see. No mode switcher, no source syntax symbols cluttering the view — just the text and its formatting.

What is Typora?

Typora is a cross-platform Markdown editor that shows formatted output as you type. It removes the split-pane approach many editors use, so you write and read in one place.

Suits Markdown writers who want distraction-free editing

It suits anyone who writes in Markdown regularly — bloggers, students, developers, and note-takers. If you want to focus on the writing without fiddling with preview toggles, this is the tool.

What else is new in 1.14?

The sidebar now shows hidden files and folders when you ask it to, and you can navigate the file tree with your keyboard. Context-menu style settings also arrived on macOS.

Runs on macOS High Sierra through latest, ARM and Intel

Typora 1.14.10 runs on macOS 10.13.6 or later, covering High Sierra through to the latest releases. Both ARM and 64-bit Intel Macs are supported, so whether you have an M-series machine or an older Intel model, it will work.

The app is lightweight in appearance — no heavy interface chrome, no separate preview pane. The window stays clean, showing your document and the floating editor toolbar when you need it. The sidebar can show hidden files and non-Markdown files if you enable those options, but by default it keeps things tidy.

Language support is broad: over thirty interface languages are included, from English and German to Arabic, Korean, and Vietnamese. You can switch the UI to your preferred language without extra downloads.

Export is handled through lightweight built-in options. For pandoc export from source mode, version 1.14.10 fixed a bug that affected that workflow. The welcome panel content clipping issue from earlier 1.14 builds is also resolved.

Auto-generates table of contents for a literature review

Picture a postgraduate student compiling a literature review. They have notes in Markdown, references in a separate file, and a table of contents to keep track of sections. With Typora, they open the document and the TOC is generated automatically from their headings. They can insert LaTeX equations inline for any statistical terms, and use code fences with syntax highlighting for any short code snippets they include.

The student works across two devices — a MacBook for lectures and an iMac at home. Both run the same version of Typora, and because the files are plain Markdown, there is no lock-in. The floating toolbar appears when they select text, giving quick access to bold, italic, heading levels, and inline code without reaching for the menu bar.

When they need to share a draft with their supervisor, they export to a clean format. The writing itself never leaves the live preview view — no switching between source and preview modes, no distraction from raw syntax markers.

Show hidden files and folders in the sidebar

After installing Typora, a few adjustments can make the experience match your habits more closely.

• Show hidden files and folders in the sidebar — if you keep configuration files or .git directories in your project folders, enable this option in the sidebar settings. It keeps your file tree complete.
• Show non-Markdown files in the sidebar — by default, Typora hides files that are not Markdown. Toggle this on if you want to see images, PDFs, or other files alongside your .md documents.
• Context-menu style settings on macOS — the new context menu styling in 1.14 lets you choose between a native macOS look or a more uniform cross-platform style. Try both and keep whichever feels more natural with your trackpad or mouse.
• Keyboard navigation in the file tree — with this enabled, you can move through files using arrow keys and open them with Return. It speeds up browsing when you are working through a folder of notes.
• Custom CSS themes — Typora supports user-made themes. If the default look does not suit you, swap in a theme that reduces eye strain or matches your desktop aesthetic. The change takes effect immediately.

None of these settings are required, but they let you shape the editor to your workflow rather than adapting to its defaults.

Typora runs on macOS 10.13.6 and later, supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and speaks over thirty languages.
