Open a folder and every Markdown file inside is instantly ready — live preview, diagrams, math and full-text search. No accounts, no cloud, no lock-in.
macOS 11 or later · Apple Silicon and Intel · 14-day free trial
MD Reader is built for the Mac today. Other platforms are on the roadmap, without fixed dates.
Roadmap items are intentions, not commitments. Platforms, dates and features may change or be dropped at any time at the developer's sole discretion, without notice and without liability.
No plugins, no configuration files, no setup evening. Open a folder and start writing.
Point it at any folder. Every Markdown file inside becomes reachable at once — no import, no database, no lock-in.
Type on the left, watch it render on the right. Both panes scroll together, so you never lose your place.
Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX formulas render as you type. Fonts are bundled, so it works completely offline.
Full-text search over the whole folder. Click a result and land on the exact line you were looking for.
Share any document as a PDF or a self-contained HTML file — styles, fonts and diagrams travel inside it.
English, Uzbek, Russian and Arabic, including full right-to-left layout. Mixed-language documents lay out correctly.
Describe a flow in a few lines and watch it become a diagram. Write a formula and see it typeset.
Light and dark themes follow your Mac automatically, or you can pin one and forget about it.
The hardest part of writing is not writing — it is finding what you wrote six months ago.
Your files never leave your Mac
MD Reader has no servers, no accounts and no analytics. It edits plain text files where they already live — text you will still be able to open in fifty years.
Every new install starts with a 14-day trial of everything. No account, no card.
Prices are shown in US dollars and may differ in your region because of local pricing and taxes. The developer may change prices, plans, tier contents, trial length and feature availability at any time, at their sole discretion, without prior notice and without any liability. Purchases are processed by Apple; refunds and cancellations are handled by Apple under its own terms. See the Terms of Use for the full conditions.
No. MD Reader has no servers and makes no network requests. It reads and writes files in the folders you choose, on your own Mac.
Reading is free forever: open folders, browse, read with syntax highlighting, navigate by outline, use themes and all four languages, and search inside the open document.
The first time you launch the app, a 14-day trial of every feature starts automatically. No account and no card. When it ends, the app keeps working as a free reader.
macOS 11 Big Sur or later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel. The app ships as a universal build.
They are on the roadmap, but there are no dates and no promises. Roadmap items may change or be dropped at any time.
All purchases go through Apple, so refunds are requested from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com and are granted under Apple's own policy, not the developer's.
MD Reader is finished and in review. Until it goes live, you can read the whole story — and the source — on GitHub.
