Read & preview .md files

Only for Mac

$14.99

Mac

Kite makes Markdown files readable on your Mac. You started using AI tools, and now you have a folder full of .md files (plans, specs, research notes, READMEs) you never set out to create. You select one in Finder, press spacebar, and macOS shows you a wall of hashtags and asterisks. The document is right there. You just can't read it. Kite fixes that. PRESS SPACE, READ THE FILE Install Kite once and every .md file on your Mac gets a real preview in Quick Look. Select a file in Finder, press spacebar, and read it formatted: headings, lists, code blocks, tables. LIGHT EDITS, WITHOUT THE SYNTAX Open a file in Kite and it reads like a finished document, not raw code. Headings, bold, links, and code blocks render inline as you type. SIX THEMES FOR LONG READING 6 themes, each with its own font pairing and color palette, light and dark. Pick the one that's easy on your eyes. NATIVE, FAST, AND QUIET Kite opens before you finish double-clicking, stays light in the background, and edits your .md files directly. Plain text in, plain text out, no proprietary format, no lock-in. WHAT KITE IS A fast way to read, preview, and lightly edit Markdown on a Mac. Great for AI-generated plans and specs, READMEs, documentation, and notes. WHAT KITE ISN'T Not a note database, a knowledge vault, or a cloud-sync service. It won't try to be your second brain or replace your editor. It opens a file, shows it properly, and gets out of your way. One-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no telemetry.
