About

Open your Markdown files for beautiful, distraction-free reading with syntax-highlighted code blocks, tables, task lists, and clickable links. When you need to edit, switch to a comfortable editor with live preview.

  • Three view modes: Read, Edit, and Split with live preview
  • Syntax-highlighted code blocks in 100+ languages
  • GFM tables and task list checkboxes
  • Full-text search with match highlighting
  • Customizable font, spacing, and content width
  • File watching with automatic reload
  • Recent files, drag and drop, printing
