MacMD Viewer

The fastest way to read Markdown on Mac

MacMD Viewer Introduction

MacMD Viewer is a native macOS app built for developers, writers, and anyone who works with .md files daily.

Open any Markdown file instantly with a beautiful, accurate preview — no setup, no browser, no clutter.

Features:

  • Syntax highlighting for 100+ programming languages
  • Mermaid diagram support (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, pie charts)
  • Table of contents sidebar with real-time scroll sync
  • QuickLook extension — preview .md files from Finder without opening the app
  • Full dark mode support
  • Lightweight and fast — pure native Swift, no Electron

Why MacMD Viewer? Most markdown viewers are web apps wrapped in Electron. MacMD Viewer is built specifically for macOS — it feels native because it is. No 300MB app bundle, no 2-second cold start, no excessive RAM usage.

One-time purchase at $19.99. No subscription, no freemium, no upsells. Buy once, use forever.
