About this app

Read.md is a reader-first Markdown viewer. It opens and renders your .md files beautifully — no editor, no clutter, no account. Your files stay on your device.

WHY READ.MD
• Faithful rendering — tables, task lists, fenced code with syntax highlighting, and Mermaid + ASCII diagrams (auto-realigned).
• Built for reading — clean typography, light & dark themes, adjustable text size, and a tap-to-jump table of contents.
• Offline & private — your files never leave your device.
• Opens Markdown and plain-text files, even without a .md extension.
• Opens large files instantly.

READ.MD PRO
Export — Turn any document into a real Word (.docx) file, a paginated, print-quality PDF, or a self-contained HTML page. Tables, code blocks, diagrams and highlighting are preserved. Or export the raw Markdown source for free.
Open from GitHub — Browse any repository, public or private, and read its .md files with full rendering. Sign in with a personal access token that stays on your device.

Reading is free, forever. Pro is a one-time purchase — yours for life — or a yearly plan with a free trial.

Thanks for reading with Read.md.

Does what it's supposed to and does it very well. No distractions. Easy, simple, working. There are only two things I wish for: simple file handling (moving/saving under new name and location) and placing TXT files in the Recently opened files (preferably under separate section). These two features go hand in hand. Often files in MD are incorrectly downloaded or generated as txt and it's a nightmare to find them and manage. In app simple file handling would solve this. Great app overall.

I just hope they add a section key at some point. also allow us to make the font a bit smaller than the current minimum as well as being able to make the viewport wider on the website.

Blackmail. This program blackmails you into having to pay a one time fee of $20 or a recurring fee of $10 a year just to be able to export a MD file as a PDF. This is an extremely unreasonable fee that amounts to blackmail to be able to use such a very simple program for those purposes.

Totally understand wanting a one-off export. Reading is free forever — no ads, no account, no limits. Export is the one thing we charge for, because it's how one developer keeps the app maintained on three platforms. The yearly plan has a free trial you can cancel anytime, if you just need a document or two out.

What’s new

New: Export to Word (.docx). Headings, tables, lists, code and diagrams become a properly formatted Word document you can save or share. Included with Read.md Pro.
