Just a Markdown Viewer does exactly one thing: it shows you markdown files, beautifully. No editor, no preview pane bolted onto a text editor, no sync service or account required. Open a .md file and read it in a clean, centered, monochrome reading column, the way a document should look. WHAT IT DOES • Renders headings, lists, tables, code blocks, quotes, links, and task lists • One toggle between formatted view and raw source (⇧⌘R) • Native text selection everywhere, so you can select and copy freely • Light mode, dark mode, or follow the system • Opens .md, .markdown, .mdown, and .mkd files, plus plain text • On Mac: files open as tabs, Chrome-style, and you can drag a tab out or merge tab groups • On iPhone and iPad: opens straight from the Files app WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • Edit files. That's the point • Collect data • Touch the network If you just want to READ markdown, this is the app.
