Nice .md Markdown Viewer
Quick Look, edit, live reload
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Markdown files, opened like documents. New in 1.3: a live editor that hides the syntax as you write, [[note]] links and themes. Try editing free for 3 days.
Nice.md opens a Markdown file the way Preview opens a PDF: rendered, readable, and out of your way.
Press Space on any .md file in Finder and the Quick Look preview shows the formatted document — headings, tables, code, diagrams — instead of raw asterisks.
READING, FREE
• GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough, autolinks, footnotes
• Syntax-highlighted code
• Mermaid diagrams and KaTeX math
• Front matter shown as metadata, not raw YAML
• An outline sidebar for jumping between headings
• Live reload when another tool rewrites the file
• Clickable task list checkboxes, written back to the file
• System typography and colors, light and dark automatically
• Print or save as PDF
EDITING, ONE-TIME PURCHASE
• Edit mode with undo and autosave
• Split view: source on the left, rendered on the right
• Copy or export as standalone HTML
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Nice.md collects no data and sends nothing anywhere. Mermaid, KaTeX and syntax highlighting all ship inside the app, so rendering works with no network at all. The app and its Quick Look extension are both sandboxed.
Reading and Quick Look are free. Edit mode, split view and HTML export unlock with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no account.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Live editor: Markdown formatting appears as you type, and the syntax only shows on the line you’re editing. The raw source is still available with ⌘4.
- Formatting shortcuts: ⌘B, ⌘I and ⌘K for bold, italic and links, and brackets and quotes close themselves.
- Inline images: images show right in the editor. Pasting or dropping an image saves it next to the note.
- Smarter paste: pasting a link over selected text turns it into a link, and web pages- paste as clean Markdown.
- Link popover: hovering a link lets you change, open or copy it.
- [[Note]] links: you can link notes with autocomplete, and backlinks show in the outline.
- Themes and writing tools: themes and fonts in Settings, Typewriter Mode, and a quieter word-count footer that also shows reading time.
- Free trial: a 3-day trial of edit mode, offered on the unlock sheet.
- Update notice: the app tells people when a new version is out and what changed.
