MDView

Read Markdown, beautifully.

Most Markdown applications are built for editing. MDView is built for reading. Whether you are reviewing a README, browsing project documentation, or opening a Markdown file from Finder, MDView gives you a clean, native reading experience without the complexity of a full editor.

What it avoids.

Not a Markdown editor.
Not a note-taking or knowledge-base application.
Focused on a fast, distraction-free reading experience.
