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. Viewing documentation and project specs on the go. Reviewing technical docs from colleagues. Browsing personal notes written in markdown.

Trial Randomizer

Let fate choose your next trial. Trial Randomizer is an independent companion for Dead by Daylight that gives you a new way to mix up your matches, experiment with builds, track your results, and challenge yourself. RANDOMIZE YOUR NEXT TRIAL Choose the killers and survivors you own, then let Trial Randomizer create your next loadout. Randomize a killer and four-perk build, or keep your favorite survivor and discover a new perk combination. Build themes add even more variety when you want something different. TRACK YOUR RESULTS Lock in a loadout, play your match, then record how it went. Track wins, losses, streaks, character usage, perk performance, favorite builds, and more over time. Match tracking is completely optional. LAST ONE STANDING Put your roster to the test in a separate elimination challenge. Choose a character, take them into a trial, and record the result. Win and they survive. Lose and they're eliminated from the run. Keep going until nobody remains and see how long you can last. Want a tougher challenge? Hard Mode removes eliminated characters' perks from the available perk pool as your run continues. BUILT AROUND YOUR ROSTER Select the killers and survivors you own so randomized builds use the characters and perks available to you. Change your selections whenever you want. YOUR STATS, YOUR DATA Your recorded results stay on your device and can sync through your private iCloud storage. Trial Randomizer does not require a Dead by Daylight account connection, and match results are entered manually. Randomization works offline. Trial Randomizer is an unofficial companion and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Behaviour Interactive. Game names and references belong to their respective owners.
