Markdown Better View is a fast, native macOS app for reading Markdown — not editing it. Open any .md file and see it rendered exactly as intended: clean typography, real dark mode, and the GitHub-flavored Markdown you expect. Built for reading: • Live reload — edit in any editor and the view updates the instant you save, with no flash and without losing your place • Follow Edits — the preview scrolls to whatever just changed; perfect for watching an AI assistant write your docs in real time • Open from your terminal with the mbv command, or straight from AI editors like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf • Five themes, including a true dark mode that follows the system • Table of contents with scrollspy for long documents • Instant find with a live match count • Distraction-free reading mode • Quick Look previews and rich thumbnails in Finder • Open a whole folder — every Markdown file becomes a native tab • Math (KaTeX) and Mermaid diagrams rendered inline • Syntax highlighting for 30+ languages, GFM tables, and task lists, with one-click copy on any code block • Export to PDF and print Private by design: • Sandboxed, with no tracking and no accounts • Remote network blocked — your documents never leave your Mac A one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.
