Flo State is a fast, minimalist native Markdown editor for macOS built in pure Swift with live preview, supporting wiki links, LaTeX, flowcharts, and image embeds. Notes are stored as plain .md files in user-chosen folders including iCloud Drive, with no database or lock-in, and the application is free and open source under GPL-3.0.
Typst, a document typesetting system programmed in Rust, released version 0.15 in June with major features including variable fonts support, MathML translation, and multiple bibliographies. The software is free and Apache-2.0-licensed, positioning itself as a potential LaTeX replacement for technical documents.
