  1. 1
    A minimal Markdown reading & writing app.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I use Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) for a lot of things, including my RPG stuff, and there are options for exporting things as PDFs. It’s great for getting organized and doing research, but I would use other tools for long-form writing and layout. What I like about Obsidian though is that everything is done in Markdown (https://commonmark.org) and I can use Pandoc (https://pandoc.org) to transform the source to whatever I need. The caveat is that Obsidian uses a flavor of Markdown with some non-standard extensions, so a pure Markdown editor like Typora (https://typora.io) might be a better choice depending on your needs.

  2. 2
    Sigil is a multi-platform WYSIWYG ebook editor. It is designed to edit books in ePub format.
    If i’m only doing an ePub, the Sigil ePub Editor (https://sigil-ebook.com/)) has worked well for me (free).

  3. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

  4. Professional creative software, exclusively for Mac.
    Affinity Designer (https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/) is a good choice for doing layouts, although Scribus (https://www.scribus.net/) may be all that you need depending on the complexity of your layouts.
