- Kite is a macOS tool that renders Markdown files formatted in Quick Look, eliminating the need to view raw syntax.
- It allows inline editing with formatted previews, hiding syntax except near the cursor.
- Kite works system-wide, launching instantly and remaining lightweight, without converting files to proprietary formats.
- Features include six font-paired themes with light/dark modes, and support for headings, bold, code blocks, and tables.
- It caters to terminal-based workflows, avoiding IDE overhead and simplifying reading of AI-generated documents like plans and specs.
- Kite distinguishes itself by providing formatted previews directly in Finder, unlike raw Quick Look, terminal commands, or heavier apps like VS Code or Obsidian.
