Mac
Open, read, edit, search, and export Markdown files in a clean native macOS app built for focused work.
MDReader is a focused native macOS app for working with Markdown files without the weight of a full IDE.
Open a Markdown document, read it in a clean formatted view, or switch into edit mode to update the raw Markdown with a live preview beside it. The app is built for simple business and productivity workflows: quick notes, specs, README files, documentation drafts, checklists, and lightweight writing.
### Key Features
- Open `.md` and `.markdown` files from the menu, toolbar, or drag-and-drop.
- Create new Markdown documents from scratch.
- Switch between Read and Edit modes.
- Edit raw Markdown with a live preview; the preview scrolls to stay aligned with the cursor.
- Search inside the current document.
- Save changes back to Markdown.
- Export the rendered document to PDF or to a single self-contained HTML file (embedded styling; local images handled so exports stay portable when needed).
- Reopen recent files from the welcome screen or the File menu (sandbox-friendly bookmarks).
- Use light or dark theme.
- Multilingual interface: the app follows your macOS preferred languages and includes full UI and in-app help for Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Polish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. Your Markdown can be in any language you write in.
- Built as a native macOS app with a calm, distraction-light interface.
