Overview
MacMD Viewer is a markdown reader for Mac. Open a .md file and it renders exactly as intended — clean typography, syntax-highlighted code blocks, working tables, and Mermaid diagrams. It pairs with whatever editor you already use, watches the file, and reloads the moment you save. No editing, no friction — just your content, looking the way it should.

MacMD Viewer features
Beautiful rendering, right away
Open any .md file and MacMD Viewer does the one thing it's built for — renders it properly. Tables line up. Code blocks highlight. Mermaid diagrams actually draw. No raw text, no guesswork.
Quick Look that actually works
Press Space on any .md file in Finder and you'll see a real rendered preview — not a wall of syntax. It's the upgrade macOS Quick Look should've shipped with.
Live file watching
MacMD Viewer keeps an eye on your file. The moment you save in your editor — VS Code, Cursor, Vim, Obsidian, anything — the preview updates automatically. No manual refresh needed.
Table of contents sidebar
Long docs are easier to navigate with a sidebar that tracks your position as you scroll. Jump to any section in one click and always know where you are in the document.
Seven syntax highlighting themes
Switch between GitHub, GitHub Dark, Atom One Dark, Dracula, Nord, Solarized Light, and Tokyo Night Dark. Light, Dark, or Follow System — per-app appearance override included. Your eyes, your call.
Built for Mac, properly
Native SwiftUI. Apple Silicon and Intel universal binary. Cold-start is instant. Hardened-runtime sandboxed, so linked files open through standard macOS permissions — no surprises, nothing sneaky.
From $19.99. MacMD Viewer app only.
