Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-14

1. Download the stable package matching your operating system and processor from Zettlr’s official download page.
2. Install and launch Zettlr. Use the First Steps guide to open a folder for Markdown documents.
3. Create a small Markdown document and save it in that folder.
4. Try the documented export workflow on the sample and check any required export dependencies before processing important documents.

Steps reviewed against provider documentation, not a claim of installation or execution testing. The GPL-3.0 editor is free on supported Windows, macOS and Linux systems; donations are optional. Its local Markdown and export workflow can replace selected Ulysses or Word writing tasks, not every collaboration or file-format feature. Check export dependencies and processor-specific downloads. Zettlr branding has separate usage terms; the logo is shown unchanged for this alternative comparison.
