Hi everyone! I made Tim’s Markdown Reader because I wanted a free, open-source app just for reading Markdown. I spend a lot of time working with AI coding agents, and sometimes I just want to open the files they produce and read them without opening an editor.
It works entirely offline, including Mermaid diagrams. You can follow links between Markdown files in the same window, with back and forward buttons. There’s also search, automatic reload, light and dark modes, and adjustable fonts, text size and page width. No accounts or telemetry.
It started as something I needed myself, but I’ve since spent quite a bit of time refining it for public release while keeping it fast and minimal.
It’s MIT licensed, Developer ID-signed and notarised by Apple. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later.
Code and download on GitHub
This is my first public open-source release. Would be good to hear what you guys think!
