Local-first WYSIWYG Markdown desktop editor with quiet writing surfaces, native AI review flows, and a restrained ink-black interaction system.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Markra Design System

## Overview

Markra should feel like a native writing instrument: calm, fast, local, and precise. The interface gives most of its attention to the Markdown document, while file navigation, AI controls, settings, and export tools stay quiet until needed.

The default visual language is light, neutral, and editorial. It avoids decorative branding, heavy panels, and marketing-style composition. The primary ink-black is reserved for interaction, focus, active states, and AI/editor affordances; it should not flood the workspace.

The product serves writers, engineers, researchers, and documentation-heavy teams. Screens should feel trustworthy for long-form reading and repeated editing, with enough density for desktop productivity and enough air around the document to keep the writing surface comfortable.

## Colors

The palette is based on clean neutrals and one restrained ink-black accent.

- **Primary (#1A1C1E):** A deep ink-black interaction color. Use for primary actions, focus rings, active toggles, drop indicators, selected status, links, and AI review controls.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add markrahq/markra/DESIGN.md@sha256:7baf6a3ceb299376

The line at the top of this page pins the label alpha, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
