Just a Markdown Viewer
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 (ā§āR) ⢠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.
