Everything,
rendered right.
Open a Markdown file and it renders instantly — clear headings, comfortable line lengths, real monospace code, a warm paper canvas that's easy on the eyes. Set once, read anything.
Built to
read.
Set your line length.
Long lines are hard to read. Choose Narrow, Comfortable, or Wide content width and the document re-flows for easy lines — whatever feels right for the file in front of you.
Day or night.
Read at any hour. Light, Dark, and System appearance — warm paper by day, warm espresso by night. Full text selection and copy, the Mac way.
Open files
any way you like.
However the file gets to you. Double-click any .md or .markdown file in Finder, use File ▸ Open, or drag a file onto a window. Browse sibling Markdown files in the folder sidebar, and jump back to anything in Open Recent.
Stays
