About Clearance

Clearance is a Markdown viewer and editor written in Swift for macOS. It opens .md and .txt files, keeps a list of recent files, and handles documents that start with a YAML frontmatter block, which is common in static site generators and note collections.

Builds are downloaded from GitHub Releases as a .dmg or .zip. The repository is set up as a monorepo, with plans for shared Tauri versions on Windows, Linux and Android, but only the macOS app ships today.

Strengths

  • Native Swift app rather than a web wrapper
  • Handles YAML frontmatter documents
  • Both reading and editing in one app

Limitations

  • macOS only for now; other platforms are planned
  • Small, young project
  • License not stated in the research
