MD View

Markdown shouldn't feel like source code. MD View turns local Markdown files into clean, readable documents directly in your browser. Open a file and start reading. No uploads. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your Markdown stays on your computer. WHY MD VIEW • Beautiful reading: strong typography, generous spacing and comfortable line lengths for long documents, README files, PRDs, research reports, architecture documents and AI-generated Markdown. • Private by design: files are read locally and never uploaded. There is no backend, no account, no analytics and no tracking. MD View requests no browser permissions. • Free forever: every feature is free. Supporting development is entirely optional and never unlocks anything. FEATURES • GitHub-flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, nested lists, footnotes, alerts, images and more • Syntax-highlighted code with a language label and a Copy button • Sticky table of contents that follows where you are • Search with highlighted matches (Ctrl/Cmd+F) • Rendered and Source views • Hover any heading to copy the section as text or Markdown, copy a link to it, or collapse it • Light, Dark or System theme • Clean printing and Save as PDF • Copy the complete Markdown with one click • Drag and drop a .md file, or pick one with Ctrl/Cmd+O SAFE BY DEFAULT Markdown is treated as untrusted input. All HTML is sanitized; scripts, iframes and event handlers never run. Images hosted on other websites are blocked until you choose to load them, so reading a document never contacts another server. HOW TO USE Click the MD View icon, then open a .md or .markdown file or drag one onto the page. Open source. Free, private, and independently built.
