About Markdown Browser

Markdown Browser is a powerful Chrome extension for working with local markdown files. Open any folder and instantly browse, read, edit, and manage your .md files with a clean, distraction-free interface. No account required. No data ever leaves your machine. Works entirely offline. ✏️ IN-BROWSER EDITOR Edit any file directly — no external app needed. Press ⌘E to enter edit mode, make your changes, and save with ⌘S. Your edits are written back to the original file instantly. 📁 FILE MANAGEMENT Create new markdown files from the sidebar with the + button. Delete files with a single click. All file operations require your explicit permission through Chrome's built-in security dialog. 🔍 FIND & REPLACE Press ⌘F in the editor to search and replace text. Navigate matches with the arrow buttons, replace one at a time or replace all at once. 📄 EXPORT TO PDF Click the PDF button in the file breadcrumb for a clean, print-ready export. 🔎 FULL-TEXT SEARCH Press ⌘K to open the command palette — search file names and file content across your entire folder instantly. Results appear as you type. ⚡ HOT RELOAD Toggle Live in the header. While active, the viewer auto-refreshes whenever you save a file in an external editor — perfect for live previewing as you write. 📚 RICH MARKDOWN RENDERING Full GitHub Flavored Markdown — tables, task lists, front matter, fenced code blocks. Syntax highlighting for all programming language files. Table of contents with scroll-spy highlighting. 🎨 CUSTOMISABLE READING EXPERIENCE Resizable sidebar, adjustable font size, reading width, and font family. Light and dark mode — toggle in the header, preference saved. Recent files history. 🔒 PRIVACY FIRST No account required. No data ever leaves your machine. Zero network requests. Works entirely offline. Read and write access to your files is granted only through Chrome's built-in permission dialog, and only when you initiate an action that requires it. This App was built by abhikuchbhi.in and it's completely open-source and free. Copy ideas freely. Credit generously :)
