I've had good results with https://typora.io/ writing articles a couple of years ago.

It was free when I was using it because it was in beta, it's now $15. If I needed to write in markdown more regularly I'd probably buy it.

I, too, have used Typora for years whilst in Beta. I appreciated it's approach and features enough that I've paid for it.

Alternately, there's a free editor called MarkText that is maybe 85% there as compared to Typora. I use this on my work Windows machine, which is pretty locked down due to corporate policies.

Even if it was free and ad-free, doing Markdown editing on the cloud is inappropriate. Come on.

Typora is fully offline and works on real files, there's no cloud dependency here AFAIK. At most you can keep files in your Google Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox syncing folder to make it "cloud".
