Philosophy

Why Fox Creek Foundry?

Ideas rarely arrive fully formed. Like a creek, they bend. They gather momentum. They find new paths around obstacles.

A foundry is where raw materials become something enduring. Fox Creek Foundry exists to build software with that same spirit: thoughtful, adaptable, and crafted to last.

We believe technology should reduce friction instead of creating it. Our products aren't designed to capture attention. They're designed to give it back.

What We Build

Digital products, shaped with care.

We build our own products, each designed to do one thing well and then stay out of your way. Heron is where we started.

Available now macOS

Heron

A Markdown editor for macOS that works on your own files.

Open a folder and edit the Markdown files inside it. The document renders as you type, in the pane you are typing in, with tables, Mermaid diagrams, code, alerts, and math rendered in place. Your files stay plain .md on disk.

  • Renders as you type
  • GitHub-flavored Markdown
  • Native macOS
  • Your own local files
