Your Markdown files deserve better than plain text. AI assistants write in Markdown: reports, briefs, news digests, meeting notes. md Viewer is made for reading what they produce. md Viewer turns them into real documents: headings, tables, diagrams, maps and callouts display cleanly on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Open a file from Files, an email or another app: it is ready to read. A report to present? The app turns it into a slideshow: choose the number of slides and watch them build one by one, with the report's images, maps and diagrams. Need the gist? It summarises the document and answers your questions about it. Written in another language? It translates it. Everything happens on your device, even offline. Free, no account; the Analytic option is a one-time purchase. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE β’ Faithful rendering: headings, tables, lists, quotes, footnotes. β’ Five reading themes, in light and dark. β’ Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequences, Gantt, mind maps) and maps, zoomable full screen. β’ Callouts and wiki links, compatible with Obsidian notes. β’ Report-to-presentation conversion, and a slideshow with eleven transitions. β’ Export to PDF, Word and PowerPoint. β’ AI summary, chat and translation, on device. β’ On a large screen, the presentation, summary or chat next to the document. β’ Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts: "Open the latest report". β’ An interface in 15 languages. ANALYTIC OPTION To read beyond the text, a one-time purchase: β’ The people, organisations, places and products in the document, in a gallery and on a map. β’ Annotate with Apple Pencil, finger or mouse: your notes carry into PDF and Word exports. β’ Import your Word, PDF and PowerPoint documents, one at a time or a whole folder. β’ Share a page from Safari: md Viewer turns it into a reading sheet, translated into your language. β’ Search across all your reports, and find them in Spotlight. β’ Present on two screens, with your notes and the timer. β’ Several windows to compare, and your actions in Shortcuts. Everything is computed on the device; Wikidata is consulted only if you agree. OFFLINE AND PRIVATE No account, no upload: your documents stay on your devices. Only map tiles load online. AI features require an Apple Intelligence-compatible device, in a language it supports.
