Features

A project folder in the sidebar with a meeting note open

Files and folders

Open a single file or a whole folder. Every Markdown file shows up in the sidebar, and changes from other apps appear right away.

The Markdown editor next to its live preview

Edit with a live preview

Open the editor next to the preview with one click or ⌥⌘E. The preview updates as you type and stays on the same line. Changes save on their own.

A rendered table and task list

Tables, task lists and more

Headings, task lists, tables, quotes, images and code blocks, all rendered natively. Links to a heading jump right there, using the same anchors as GitHub.

A long document with the sidebar hidden

Made for long reads

Hide the sidebar for a calm page. Big files open instantly, and everything looks right in light and dark mode.

Your files stay on your Mac

ReadMarkdown only opens the files and folders you choose. It has no account and no tracking, and it never loads images from the internet.
