Vays: MD Reader
Markdown viewer & editor
Only for Mac
$9.99
Mac
Send any document to your iPhone — reports your AI writes are on your phone before you leave the house. Private iCloud, off by default, zero servers.
Your AI writes Markdown all day. VAYS MD Reader is where you finally read it.
A native macOS reader and editor for the .md files piling up in your repos — CLAUDE.md, READMEs, specs, transcripts. Open a file and read it with real typography, not source code. No Electron. No cloud. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.
BUILT FOR
• Developers reviewing what their AI agents wrote
• README authors who want badges and emoji without memorizing syntax
• Technical writers who live in Markdown
• Anyone with a folder full of .md files and no nice way to read them
READ
• GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks
• Callout cards — GitHub [!NOTE] / [!TIP] / [!WARNING] and Obsidian [!summary]
• Mermaid diagrams rendered offline — the renderer ships inside the app
• Display math typeset natively, no web view
• Footnotes, front-matter cards, shields.io badges drawn natively
• Document outline with insights, reading progress, tabs, focus mode
WRITE
• Source editor with Markdown highlighting, autosave and native find
• Draw flowcharts and sequence diagrams — the Mermaid source writes itself
• Insert gallery: tech badges, README emoji, ready-made snippet blocks
• Read / Edit / Split modes, PDF export
A LIBRARY, NOT A SILO
Add your projects folder once. Browse every repo as a tree, pin favourites, jump anywhere with quick open. Your files stay plain .md on disk, exactly where they were.
MADE FOR AI WORKFLOWS
Open a document and let your agent keep writing — the reader re-renders on every save. Ships with a command-line helper and a Claude Code recipe for automatic background preview.
PRIVACY BY DEFAULT
No account. No analytics. No network requests — remote images are deliberately not loaded and the Mermaid renderer is bundled. Your documents are yours.
PART OF THE VAYS FAMILY
From the maker of Vays, the private voice-note app. Record a memo in Vays, read the transcript in VAYS MD Reader — the inbox connects with one click.
Built by a solo developer. Every feedback email is read.

SEND TO IPHONE
• ⇧⌘E sends the open document to the free VAYS MD companion app on your iPhone — through your private iCloud Drive, never through our servers
• Auto-send: files written by Claude Code sessions can queue themselves — the report is waiting on your phone before you head out
• The phone opens the document at the heading you were reading
• Handoff: while you read on the Mac, the reader icon appears on your iPhone — tap to continue in place
• Entirely opt-in (Settings ▸ Continue on iPhone, off by default). With it off, the app makes zero network requests, exactly as before
Requires the free VAYS MD app for iPhone and the same iCloud account on both devices.
