MacMD Viewer is a native macOS application for reading Markdown files. Built with SwiftUI, it renders Markdown as a read-only document and pairs with whatever editor you use to write it.
It includes a Quick Look extension, so you can preview a Markdown file from Finder by pressing the spacebar. It renders Mermaid diagrams, highlights fenced code blocks, and watches the open file so the preview reloads when you save. A sidebar lists the document’s headings and tracks your position as you scroll.
MacMD Viewer is available as a one-time purchase.
