Frequently Asked Questions

Is MarkBun really free?

Yes. MarkBun is an open-source project and will always be free to download and use. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.

Is it safe to download?

Absolutely. All binaries are built directly from the public GitHub repository. We use automated CI/CD pipelines to ensure integrity and security.

Current Version Status

Preview release. macOS is fully supported. Windows builds are experimental and may have issues. Linux builds are not yet tested.

macOS says "MarkBun is damaged"

MarkBun is not yet code-signed, so macOS Gatekeeper blocks it. Open Terminal and run: xattr -cr /Applications/MarkBun.app — then launch the app again.
