Read .md files beautifully on iPhone, iPad & Mac — rendering, syntax highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, fully offline. Plus export to PDF/HTML and GitHub browsing. Open any .md file and read it beautifully — on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Read.md is a markdown reader. Not an editor, not a note-taking app, not a vault system. A reader. Tap a .md file, it opens, it looks great, you read it. PERFECT RENDERING Tables, code blocks, nested lists, task lists, blockquotes, images, links — everything renders correctly. Syntax highlighting for 180+ programming languages. GitHub Flavored Markdown fully supported. MERMAID DIAGRAMS Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, class diagrams, and more render natively. Tap to zoom into any diagram for a detailed view. EXPORT TO PDF & HTML Turn any document into a clean, paginated, print-quality PDF or a self-contained HTML file — diagrams and syntax highlighting intact. Share it, print it, archive it. Or export the original Markdown source. (PDF and HTML export are Read.md Pro; Markdown export is free.) OPEN FROM GITHUB Read documentation straight from the source. Browse any GitHub repository — public or private — navigate its file tree, and open any .md file with the same beautiful rendering. Sign in with a personal access token; your token stays on your device. (Read.md Pro) SMART DIAGRAM FIXER ASCII art and box-drawing diagrams that look broken in other apps? Read.md detects and corrects misaligned characters automatically so your diagrams look the way they were intended. NAVIGATE LONG DOCUMENTS Auto-generated table of contents from your headings. Search within any document with match highlighting and next/prev navigation. Your scroll position is remembered when you come back to a file. ZERO FRICTION No account needed to read. No workspace. No vault. No setup. Works as your default .md file handler — open markdown files from Files, Finder, email attachments, AirDrop, the share sheet, or drag and drop. ADAPTS TO YOUR DEVICE iPhone: stacked navigation with a frosted-glass nav bar and bottom sheets. iPad: landscape split-view, portrait slide-over panels, trackpad and keyboard support. Mac: split-view with sidebar, reader, and table-of-contents panel, keyboard shortcuts, and translucent panels. Everything adapts automatically when you resize windows or rotate your device. DARK AND LIGHT MODES Switch between dark and light themes, or follow your system setting. Adjust font size to your preference. Everything updates live. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Opens instantly, even large files. Your markdown is rendered entirely on your device — file contents are never uploaded, and reading works fully offline. No ads. No account required to read. The only feature that touches the network is GitHub browsing, and only when you choose to use it. We use anonymous, aggregate analytics to improve the app. READ.MD PRO A one-time purchase — or a yearly subscription with a free trial — unlocks PDF/HTML export and GitHub browsing. Everything else stays free, forever. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR Reading AI-generated markdown exports. Reading GitHub README files on mobile. Viewing documentation and project specs on the go. Reviewing technical docs from colleagues. Browsing personal notes written in markdown. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

THIS is a markdown viewer
Jun 3
Uli Troyo
Other viewers try to do too much (editing) while doing too little (being ugly). This is the one. It has a “recent” list, it has a table of contents, and it displays rendered markdown. Its default styles are similar to GitHub’s (nice-looking and readable) and supports dark and light modes. That’s literally all you need. The only downside is I can’t throw money at the developer for it.

Excellent markdown reader

I do most of my work at my desktop PC, but I don’t want to be tied to it when reviewing lengthy documents. I have found this to be an excellent solution because I can read markdown documents, which I generate frequently, on my iPad while sitting on my deck and not feel like I’m a slave to my desktop.

My experience so far has been great. It just opens the file and renders it. Seems lightweight. Exactly what I was looking for.

This is a nice markdown file viewer, opens quickly and renders the markdown I expect, with the ability to see content outline for navigation and some search functionality as well. Looking forward to seeing where the product goes in the future.

Bug fixes and stability improvements.
