    Markdown is described as 'text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)' and is a very popular app in the Development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Markdown for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Online / Web-based and iPhone. The best alternative is Joplin. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Zettlr or Mark Text. Other great apps like Markdown are Typora (Paid), ghostwriter (Free, Open Source), Haroopad (Free, Open Source) and Inkdrop (Paid).
