Markdown Reader & Editor: MD
Read, write & highlight
Free · In-App Purchases
Launch offer: Pro at a special price until 4 November. Read any Markdown file beautifully for free; with Pro, write on the page, export to PDF and sync your highlights.
Markdown, beautifully rendered. Read, write and highlight on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Open any .md file and read it as a clean, typeset document with real LaTeX maths, coloured code, tables and diagrams. Highlight and add notes as you read, and with Pro, write right on the page on Mac and iPad. Reading is free.
ON iPHONE
A calm, focused reader: open, read, find, highlight and present, with no risk of changing your file by accident. With Pro, export to PDF and HTML, print, and sync your highlights.
READ IT BEAUTIFULLY
• Full Markdown: headings, nested and task lists, tables, block quotes, footnotes, links and images
• LaTeX maths typeset with KaTeX, inline and on its own line
• Code coloured by a real syntax highlighter, with a one-tap Copy button
• Mermaid diagrams drawn as pictures
• Four themes (GitHub, Aurora, Dark and Apple) in light and dark mode, and adjustable text size
HIGHLIGHT AND TAKE NOTES
• Highlight in colour, as a background or an underline
• Add a note to any highlight and browse them all in the Highlights panel
• Highlights live in the app, never in your file: the .md stays untouched
• With Pro, they sync across your devices through your own iCloud, and export as a Markdown revision sheet
FIND YOUR WAY
• An outline built from your headings that follows you as you read
• Find highlights every match, with a counter and next/previous (⌘F with a keyboard)
• Links to a section jump straight there
• Recent files one tap away
• Present any document as full-screen slides, with a laser pointer and a marker (free)
WRITE ON THE PAGE (Pro, iPad)
• Type directly in the reading view, like a word processor
• Split view, with the Markdown source beside the page
• Edit mode for the source alone, plus New and Save, back to your own .md files
SHARE IT (Pro)
• Export to PDF, with paper size, margins, header and page numbers, or to HTML
• On iPhone, also print, export a single section, share a section or a formula as an image, and copy with formatting
SAFE BY DESIGN
• A downloaded document's links can't launch apps or scripts: web links open in your browser, other kinds ask first
• A linked HTML page opens in MD Reader's own viewer
• On iPhone and iPad, when a document's images are in a folder iOS hasn't shared, MD Reader says so and brings them in with one tap
AND ON YOUR MAC
The same purchase includes the full Mac app: Split with synced scrolling and mirrored selection, Live Studio's seven ready-made blocks, tabs, live statistics, reading fonts and keyboard shortcuts for everything.
FREE AND PRO
Reading is free, with no time limit: open any Markdown file and use the outline, Find, all four themes, highlights and notes, and Present mode.
Pro is a single one-off purchase, no subscription. It unlocks writing and editing (Edit and Split modes, typing in the reading view, New and Save), export to PDF and HTML, Live Studio, multiple tabs and highlight sync through iCloud. Every new install can try all of Pro free for 7 days. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac, and if you used MD Reader before version 1.2, you keep everything you had.
YOUR FILES STAY YOURS
Ordinary .md text files. No proprietary format, no MD Reader account, no sign-up, no analytics, no tracking and no subscription. The app goes online only to load images your document links to and, with Pro sync, to keep your highlights and notes in your private iCloud database, which the developer cannot access. Your documents are never uploaded.
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.

MD Reader 1.2, our biggest update yet.
Launch offer: Pro at a special price until 4 November.
WRITE ON THE PAGE

HIGHLIGHT, NOTE, SYNC
Mark what matters, add notes, and find them on all your devices through your own iCloud.
MADE FOR FOLDABLES
On iPhone Duo, open it like a book: your outline on one page, your document on the other. Half-fold it and it becomes a pocket laptop, with the preview above and the keyboard below.
ALSO NEW
• Split view that scrolls source and page together (Mac)
• Present any document as slides, with a laser pointer and a marker
• Safer links, and an in-app viewer for linked HTML pages
