Use HackMD in a lightweight standalone desktop window with an extensible client.
HackDesk is a desktop client that wraps hackmd.io in a lightweight Tauri application, giving HackMD users a dedicated window for their existing collaborative Markdown workflow. The stable macOS build can be installed through Homebrew, but it is currently unsigned and may require manual approval on first launch. A parallel Electron beta is developing a more native workspace, search, settings, and note-management experience while the Tauri version remains the stable path.
