Bareview
Dead-simple Markdown viewer
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Open a README, spec, or agent note and read it now — no projects, no IDEs, no ceremony. One native window, one document, just the Markdown.
Bareview is a brutally focused, dead-simple Markdown viewer for macOS. Open a README, a spec, or an agent note and just read it — no projects, no IDEs, no ceremony.
Click a Markdown file or run "open file.md" and you get one native window with one document. That's the whole idea.
WHY BAREVIEW
• Open the file. Nothing else. One window, one document — no sidebar, no tabs, no workspace to set up.
• Built for reading. A comfortable reading measure, selectable text, scrollable tables, and familiar zoom.
• Markdown only, on purpose. It renders .md and .markdown files. It doesn't organize your notes — it just shows them, cleanly.
FEATURES
• Clean, native rendering of GitHub-style Markdown
• Syntax-highlighted code blocks
• In-document find
• YAML frontmatter shown at a glance
• Zoom in and out for comfortable reading
• Selectable text and scrollable tables
• Set Bareview as your default Markdown viewer and open files straight from Finder
Bareview does one thing: it shows you the Markdown. Open, read, close.
Made by Arbiter Technologies. See bareview.app for one-line terminal setup (WezTerm, iTerm2, Ghostty) so Markdown paths open straight from your terminal.
