Typora alternative
Typora stopped releasing. MDDock is the free, open-source successor.
Typora is still beautiful, but it hasn't shipped a major release since 2022 and there's no roadmap in sight. MDDock ships the same instant-render experience your eyes are used to, then adds local-first files, AI memory, hybrid recall, and Agent skill support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Why Typora users move to MDDock
Instant render, plus AI that actually reads your notes
Typora renders beautifully but has no built-in AI. MDDock keeps the live WYSIWYG view you like, then layers hybrid recall on top so Claude Code and Cursor can search meaning, links, and past judgments — not just keywords.
Office round-trip without losing the .md source
Import Word, PDF, PowerPoint, and Excel directly into your vault as plain Markdown. When colleagues need Office files back, export from the same .md source. Typora can't round-trip Office; MDDock can.
One-click Agent skill install
Install MDDock skills for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex in a single command. Your AI coding agents can then read, search, and answer from your local Markdown vault with full wikilink and recall context — no extra setup.
Typora is polished. MDDock is built for the AI era.
