MarkLive – Markdown & Mermaid Viewer

MarkLive turns any Markdown file you open in Chrome into a clean, beautiful page — with live Mermaid diagrams that look exactly like mermaid.live. Just open a .md file (drag it into Chrome or open file:///…/notes.md) and MarkLive does the rest. No uploads, no accounts — everything runs locally in your browser. ★ MERMAID DIAGRAMS, DONE RIGHT • Flowchart, sequence, class, state, ER, Gantt, pie, mindmap, timeline, git graph, quadrant, user journey, XY chart, sankey, block, kanban, architecture, C4 and more • Uses the latest Mermaid engine (same as mermaid.live), so diagrams render exactly as expected • Zoom (Ctrl + scroll or buttons), drag to pan, double-click to fit, fullscreen view • Download any diagram as SVG or PNG, copy its code, or open it in mermaid.live • Animated "flow" mode for connectors and a smooth draw-in animation • Clear error messages when a diagram has a syntax error ★ BEAUTIFUL MARKDOWN • GitHub-flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, alerts (NOTE, TIP, WARNING…), front matter • Syntax highlighting for 190+ languages with one-click copy • Images next to your file just work — even with spaces in the name, Windows paths and Obsidian ![[image.png]] embeds — with captions and click-to-enlarge • Table of contents sidebar that follows your scroll, reading progress bar and reading time ★ MADE FOR DAILY USE • Toggle the raw Markdown source with one key (S) • Reload the file keeping your position (R), optional auto-reload while you edit • Choose diagram theme, content width and text size • Print / Save as PDF with a clean layout PRIVATE BY DESIGN MarkLive collects no data, has no analytics and makes no network requests. Your files never leave your computer. IMPORTANT: after installing, open chrome://extensions → MarkLive → Details and turn on "Allow access to file URLs". This is required for Chrome to let any extension display local files.
