A folder of notes → a website.
Publish is a native Mac app. Point it at a folder of Markdown and it builds a clean, self-contained website — an index, a page per note, links between them, images copied in. Open it locally, or drop the folder on any host.
All generated on your Mac: no cloud, no account, no build tools, no tracking. The output is plain .html that works opened straight from disk.

How it works
Any folder of .md — your clips, jots, converted docs. Pick a site title and an output folder.
Wikilinks ([[Note]]) and .md links are rewritten to the built pages; images are copied in. An index lists everything.
A warm, light/dark-aware theme with proper typography — the same family look, not a wall of raw HTML.
Plain .html that opens from disk and runs on any static host — GitHub Pages, Netlify, an S3 bucket, or nothing at all.
The promise
You don't need to move your notes into someone else's app to share them. Publish reads the plain files you already have and hands you a website — no account, no lock-in, no server reading your work. Your folder in, a site out.
Why
Static sites are the most durable way to put words on the web: no database, no runtime, no bill. Publish makes one from the notes you already keep — generated locally, styled cleanly, ready to host for years. The way out of Markdown and onto the open web.
