Images render. Wikilinks open. Press space in Finder for a rendered preview. And the page follows your editor, saving after saving.
MD Flow is a native app for browsing folders and instantly previewing Markdown — beautifully rendered, with syntax-highlighted code, tables, and Mermaid diagrams.
No indexing, no workspace, no setup. Just open a folder and start reading.
What you can do
* Browse folders with a fast, intuitive interface
* Instantly preview Markdown, with syntax-highlighted code blocks
* See Mermaid diagrams rendered inline — flowcharts, sequence, Gantt, and more
* Export any document as a polished PDF, then share or save it — MD Flow Pro
* Search within the current folder
* Reopen recent files quickly
* Navigate long documents with a table of contents
* Preview HTML, text, CSV, and RTF files
* Works directly with your existing folder structure
Built for real workflows
MD Flow works with the files you already have:
* Documentation folders and README-heavy projects
* Technical docs with diagrams and code samples
* Exported notes and personal archives
* AI-generated summaries, research, and drafts
* Writing libraries and file-based knowledge systems
A simple, focused experience
MD Flow is not a note-taking app, a PKM system, or a Markdown editor.
It is a file-first app designed to help you browse and read your files faster, without friction.
No import. No duplication. No lock-in.
Privacy-first by design
* No account required
* No tracking
* Works locally with your files
* You stay in control of your data
Pricing
MD Flow includes a free core experience.
MD Flow Pro is a one-time unlock — including PDF export — that works across Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Optional tips are available if you want to support ongoing development.
Really like pulling up an md file and seeing it laid out properly. It finally looks right on my phone and I can get through a file without wishing I was back at my Mac.
A nicer way to read markdown
Alawayy
Sometimes I just want to read an MD file and this makes it look so good without any fuss. I especially like hitting space in Finder to take a quick look without having to open my editor.
Pictures finally show up. Images inside your documents render, and opening one fills the screen. Wikilinks in [[double brackets]] open the file they point to. On Mac, pressing space on a Markdown file in Finder previews it rendered, without opening the app.
The preview keeps up now, too: edit a file somewhere else and MD Flow follows each save, without losing your place on the page.
