Read Markdown the way it was meant to look. NexReader turns any .md file into a clean, comfortable page. Headings, tables, code, task lists and quotes are rendered natively — no web view, no clutter, nothing between you and the words. It is made for the documents you actually receive: notes, READMEs, specs, and the long answers AI tools write for you. BEAUTIFUL RENDERING • Full GitHub-Flavored Markdown: headings, bold and italic, lists, task lists, quotes, tables and links • Code blocks with syntax highlighting for 16 languages, and one-tap copy • Tables that keep their alignment and scroll sideways instead of squashing • Images you can open full screen and pinch to zoom MAKE IT YOURS • Four reading themes: Classic White, Sepia, Midnight and AMOLED Black • Four typefaces, including New York for long reads • Text size, weight, line height, letter spacing and paragraph spacing • Three reading widths, so lines never run too long on a big screen FIND YOUR WAY • An outline of every heading, with your current section marked • Find in document, with every match highlighted • Opens exactly where you left off — even after you change the text size A LIBRARY THAT STAYS TIDY • Real folders you can create, rename and rearrange • Favorites, sorting, search, and reading progress on every document • Your documents also appear in the Files app, in the same folders GET FILES IN EASILY • Import from Files, or open .md files straight from other apps • Wi‑Fi Transfer: drop files from any computer's browser onto your iPhone or iPad. No cable, no cloud, no account GREAT ON IPAD • Your library and the page side by side • Keyboard shortcuts for find, the outline, text size and moving between sections ALSO ON MAC • Open any .md file from Finder in its own window • The same library, themes and typography, with a full menu bar NO ACCOUNT NEEDED There is nothing to sign up for, and your documents stay on your device.
