Everything a reader needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

✍️

Full Markdown rendering

Headings, bold, italic, code, quotes, lists, task lists, links, images, and GitHub‑flavored tables — all cleanly typeset.

🎨

Ten built‑in themes

System, Obsidian, GitHub, Solarized, Nord, Dracula, Gruvbox, Sepia, and High Contrast, with a one‑tap light/dark toggle.

🔠

Typography you control

Adjust text size, line spacing, and content width until reading feels effortless.

🗂️

Straight from Finder

Double‑click, drag‑and‑drop, or “Open With”. Pinned and recent files are always a click away.

↩️

Remembers your place

Scroll position is restored per document, and files reload automatically when they change on disk.

🔒

Private by design

No accounts, no sync, no analytics, no network. Your files never leave your Mac.

Ten themes. One calm page.

Pick a palette that feels right in morning light or late at night — from the muted warmth of Sepia to the deep focus of Obsidian.

Your files. Your Mac. Nothing else.

Markdown Preview works completely offline and collects no data whatsoever. There’s no tracking, no accounts, and no network access. It’s a viewer — it opens your document and gets out of the way.
