A reading mode for Markdown

Most Markdown tools are editors: split panes, toolbars, source on the left. That's the wrong shape for reading. This is a reader — it opens your .md file straight into a clean, rendered document with typography tuned for long-form reading, and gets out of the way.

How to read an .md file

  1. Open or drag a .md file into the box above — or paste the Markdown.
  2. Read it rendered: headings, code, tables, diagrams, and math in place.
  3. Press F for focus mode, T for the table of contents.

FAQ

What's the difference between a Markdown reader and an editor?

An editor is built for writing: source view, split panes, toolbars. A reader opens the rendered document immediately and optimizes for reading — typography, navigation, and focus.

Can it handle large Markdown files?

Yes — the reader is designed to stay responsive with very large documents, long specs, and generated docs of 10MB and more.

Can I read .md files on my phone?

Yes — the rendered view is responsive, and wide tables scroll horizontally instead of breaking the layout.

Is the Markdown reader free?

Yes — opening and reading .md files is free and requires no signup.
