Read full description

Open any .md file and read it beautifully — on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Read.md is a markdown reader. Not an editor, not a note-taking app, not a vault system. A reader. Tap a .md file, it opens, it looks great, you read it. PERFECT RENDERING Tables, code blocks, nested lists, task lists, blockquotes, images, links — everything renders correctly. Syntax highlighting for 180+ programming languages. GitHub Flavored Markdown fully supported. MERMAID DIAGRAMS Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, class diagrams, and more render natively. Tap to zoom into any diagram for a detailed view. EXPORT TO WORD, PDF & HTML Turn any document into a real Word (.docx) file with proper headings, tables, lists and code blocks, a clean, paginated, print-quality PDF, or a self-contained HTML file — diagrams and images intact. Share it, print it, archive it. Or export the original Markdown source. (Word, PDF and HTML export are Read.md Pro; Markdown export is free.) OPEN FROM GITHUB Read documentation straight from the source. Browse any GitHub repository — public or private — navigate its file tree, and open any .md file with the same beautiful rendering. Sign in with a personal access token; your token stays on your device. (Read.md Pro) SMART DIAGRAM FIXER ASCII art and box-drawing diagrams that look broken in other apps? Read.md detects and corrects misaligned characters automatically so your diagrams look the way they were intended. NAVIGATE LONG DOCUMENTS Auto-generated table of contents from your headings. Search within any document with match highlighting and next/prev navigation. Your scroll position is remembered when you come back to a file. ZERO FRICTION No account needed to read. No workspace. No vault. No setup. Works as your default .md file handler — open markdown and plain-text files from Files, Finder, email attachments, AirDrop, the share sheet, or drag and drop. ADAPTS TO YOUR DEVICE iPhone: stacked navigation with a frosted-glass nav bar and bottom sheets. iPad: landscape split-view, portrait slide-over panels, trackpad and keyboard support. Mac: split-view with sidebar, reader, and table-of-contents panel, keyboard shortcuts, and translucent panels. Everything adapts automatically when you resize windows or rotate your device. DARK AND LIGHT MODES Switch between dark and light themes, or follow your system setting. Adjust font size to your preference. Everything updates live. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Opens instantly, even large files. Your markdown is rendered entirely on your device — file contents are never uploaded, and reading works fully offline. No ads. No account required to read. The only feature that touches the network is GitHub browsing, and only when you choose to use it. We use anonymous, aggregate analytics to improve the app. READ.MD PRO A one-time purchase — or a yearly subscription with a free trial — unlocks Word/PDF/HTML export and GitHub browsing. Everything else stays free, forever. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR Reading AI-generated markdown exports. Turning markdown into Word documents for colleagues. Reading GitHub README files on mobile.

Never miss a household task again. Medori reminds you exactly when you need it: for bills, it nudges you twice — first to submit your meter reading, then to pay on time. For anything else, build a scenario with as many steps as you need, and Medori walks you through it, one reminder at a time. DOUBLE REMINDERS & MULTI-STEP SCENARIOS Create one reminder and the app nudges you at every step. For a bill, that means a reminder on the 11th to log the reading, then again on the 13th to pay. For anything bigger — an oil change, a car service, seasonal maintenance — chain as many steps as you like into one scenario, each with its own date and time. No missed deadlines, no forgotten steps. WHAT Medori DOES Reminders for any household bill: utilities, internet, rent, TV licence, maintenance and more Smart double reminders — reading first, payment second, on the dates you choose Multi-step scenarios — chain multiple reminders into one routine, in any order Custom categories — add your own, with your own icon, for anything Medori doesn't already cover Meter readings tracked over time, with usage per cycle Spending analytics by category — see exactly where your money goes Full history of every payment, reading and completed step, month by month Mark a bill or step as done in a single tap Export your history whenever you need it Light, dark and system themes, with accent colours Quiet hours and simple, flexible settings WHY Medori? Every household payment and routine lives in one place. You stop keeping due dates and steps in your head, and stop paying late fees or missing something halfway through. The app tells you when to submit a reading, when to pay, and what comes next in any scenario you've built — automatically, every cycle. Plan your household bills and routines calmly, without stress.
