quickMD

Last updated: August 12, 2026

The short version: quickMD does not collect any data. It has no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no network connections at all — the app ships without any networking code. Your Markdown files are read and written on your own device and never leave it.

1. Data collection

We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal information. quickMD has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no advertising.

We have no servers involved in the operation of this app, so there is nothing for us to receive.

2. Your files

Your documents stay on your device. quickMD opens the Markdown files you choose — from Finder, from the Files app, from the open dialog, or by dragging them onto the window — and writes your edits back to those same files on disk.

  • The app reads and writes only files with a Markdown or plain-text extension. This restriction is enforced in the app's own core, not just its interface.
  • The app reads each open file's modification time so it can tell that the file changed on disk under it — for example because another editor or a sync client rewrote it — and reload instead of overwriting someone else's work. Nothing derived from that timestamp leaves your device.
  • No copy of your documents is made anywhere outside the location you opened them from.

3. Data stored on your device

quickMD stores one thing locally: the file paths of the tabs you had open, so the same documents come back the next time you launch it. This is a list of locations, not content, and it stays in the app's own local storage on your device.

To remove it, close all tabs before quitting, or delete the app — uninstalling removes everything quickMD has stored.

4. Network connections

quickMD makes no network connections. The app contains no HTTP client, no networking libraries, and no remote endpoints, and its content-security policy blocks outbound requests from its interface. It works identically with the device in airplane mode.

5. Purchases

quickMD is free. There are no in-app purchases and no subscriptions, so no payment information is ever involved.

6. Third-party services

None. quickMD bundles no third-party analytics, advertising, attribution, or crash-reporting services. Its dependencies are the user-interface and text-editing components it is built from, all of which run locally on your device.

7. Children

quickMD is suitable for users of all ages. Because it collects no data at all, it collects no data from children.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
