Markdown Reader & Editor: MD
Read, write & export Markdown
Free · In-App Purchases
Read, write and export Markdown. Your files stay plain .md, yours, and on your device. Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
Markdown, beautifully rendered — on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
MD Reader turns plain .md files into clean, readable documents with real LaTeX mathematics, coloured code blocks and elegant tables. Native, fast, and built around one idea: your words stay yours.
ON iPHONE
A calm, focused, read-only reader. Open, read, search and navigate — with no risk of changing your file by accident. With Pro you can also export to PDF and HTML.
WRITE, NOT JUST READ (iPad)
• An editor with a live side-by-side preview that updates as you type
• New, Open and Save
• Your edits go back to your own .md files
BEAUTIFUL RENDERING
• Full Markdown: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, nested lists, tables, block quotes, links and images
• LaTeX mathematics typeset with KaTeX — inline formulas and centred display equations
• Coloured code blocks with a one-tap Copy button
• Smart typography: curly quotes, em dashes and ellipses applied automatically
FIND YOUR WAY
• Instant search that highlights every match, with a counter and next/previous
• Table of contents built from your headings — a sheet on iPhone, a sidebar on Mac
• In-document links jump straight to any section
• Recent files always one tap away
MAKE IT COMFORTABLE
• Four themes — GitHub, Aurora, Dark and Apple — each adapting to light and dark mode
• Adjustable text size
AND ON YOUR MAC
The same purchase includes the full Mac app:
• AI Markdown — describe what you need and Apple's on-device model writes the Markdown. Nothing leaves your Mac.
• Live Studio — seven ready-made building blocks: section, table, checklist, code, quote, storyboard and action plan
• Several documents open at once, in tabs, with synced scrolling
• Live statistics, a choice of reading fonts, and a full menu bar with keyboard shortcuts for everything
FREE AND PRO
Reading and writing are both free. Open any Markdown file, use all four themes, LaTeX, coloured code, tables, search, contents and the bundled samples — and on iPad and Mac, write in the editor with its live side-by-side preview, create new documents and save them.
Pro is a single one-time purchase — no subscription — and it covers taking the document back out of the app: export to PDF and HTML on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and on iPhone and Mac also printing, exporting a single section, sharing as an image and copying with formatting. On Mac it adds Live Studio, AI Markdown and several documents open at once. One purchase covers all three.
YOUR FILES STAY YOURS
Ordinary .md text files. No proprietary format, no account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking and no subscription — one purchase, that's all. The only time the app uses the network is to load images your own document links to.
Opens .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd and .mkdn — from the Files app, iCloud Drive or a share sheet.
Available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic.

Export, on iPhone and on the Mac.
• Export to PDF with page options: paper size, orientation, margins, a header carrying the title and the date, and page numbers
• Export one section instead of the whole document
• Share a section, a formula or a table as a picture
• Print
• Copy with formatting, so a paste into Pages or Mail keeps its headings, lists and tables
• Diagrams: a mermaid block is drawn as a picture
• Code is coloured by a real syntax highlighter
• On iPhone, images kept beside the document are shown
On the Mac
• The theme, the font and the text size are remembered between sessions
• The toolbar no longer clips or crowds its own labels
• Images in a folder show up as soon as you grant access to it
• Export to PDF: long documents are no longer cut short, local images reach the PDF, and wide tables are fitted to the page
• Printing keeps the document's own colours
• Footnotes are rendered
• Export is in the File menu, with key equivalents
• The editor is drawn in the theme's colours
Pro no longer unlocks itself when the App Store cannot be reached.
