What It Does

Markdown, made readable.

A focused little app that does one thing well: shows your Markdown the way it's meant to look.

Clean formatted reading

Headings, lists, code blocks, tables, and quotes — all rendered into a calm, readable document. Just double-click a .md file to open it.

Stylized Copy

Copy as plain text with ⌘C, or as rich text with ⇧⌘C — paste into Mail, Notes, or Word with the formatting intact.

Zoom & print

Resize freely (it remembers your last size), zoom with ⌘+ / ⌘– / ⌘0, reload with ⌘R, and print the formatted document with ⌘P.

Free, no signup

Download and use it on as many Macs as you like, forever. No account, no license key, no trial timer, no upsell.
