About Reader.md: View HTML, PDF, Markdown & Export
Strip any page down to just the article. Read it, save it, send it.
Works on HTML, PDF, Markdown, and plain-text files.
READER VIEW
Open any page in a clean, minimal reader tab in light or dark mode without ads and clutter.
• Web pages and articles: strips to the content, nothing else.
• PDFs: full article text in the reader, not a PDF viewer.
• .md and .txt files: formatted reading view instead of raw source.
SAVE AND EXPORT
• .md
• .html
• .epub
Keyboard shortcuts cover every action. Open and share straight from any tab. Set a default hotkey to skip the viewer and go straight to save or copy.
SEND TO APPS
• email
• AI assistants
• read-it-later apps and bookmark managers
One click to send content to your favorite AI assistant like ChatGPT with optional prompts you can define.
OPTIONS

No account. No telemetry. Everything stays on your machine.
