What's New in Quick Markdown Viewer

1.7

June 15, 2026

This update improves folder context in the reader and adds structured JSON-family reading: - Show the full folder path in the header for files opened from nested folders - Keep the selected file's ancestor folders visible above the scrolling file sidebar - Open JSON, JSONC, NDJSON, and JSONL files in a collapsible structured viewer - View JSON-family fenced blocks inside Markdown with source/viewer controls - Keep original source line numbers visible while expanding, collapsing, and reading pretty JSON rows - Quick Look previews now support JSON-family files with bounded native previews - `qmv /path/to/file` on macOS now cold-starts directly to the file's parent folder with that file selected - App-level file opens now cover Markdown, Mermaid, JSON-family files, CSV/TSV tables, and folders

Convenient navigation, a few minor complaints

This has been my default Markdown renderer for a couple weeks, and it’s generally been very helpful. It handles folders full of linked markdown really well - almost like a web browser or something. The rendered text is clean and clear as well. Where things fall down is if you have a more complex file hierarchy (the expansion of folders in the left panel gets visually off-kilter), or if you have inline mermaid graphs (the rendering is minimal; distractingly terrible). It also doesn’t update when the on-disk files are updated - this mostly isn’t a problem (click away to another file, then click back), but it would be a nice piece of polish if this worked automatically.

Biased but I like it

I know the developer well, but I love that this has a tiny space and memory footprint!!!
