What you get

Read formatted Markdown without opening a full editor.

With MD-Viewer, you can open a .md file and read it as a formatted document instead of working through Markdown syntax. You get a focused reading view without loading a full editor or development environment, whether you’re browsing project documentation, reviewing your latest draft, or reading class materials.

When you need to send a document to someone who doesn’t use Markdown, you can export it as a PDF. That gives you a formatted copy to share without asking the recipient to install a Markdown viewer or interpret the source text.

Your files stay on your Mac, with no cloud processing or tracking. You get a native macOS app built around reading rather than writing, so it fits situations where you want to see the document’s content without an editor’s extra tools.
