PilcrowMD is a beautiful, distraction-free Markdown reader and editor for Android. Open a .md file and read it the way it was meant to look - clean serif typography, a warm dark theme, and generous spacing that make long documents a pleasure to read on a phone.

Built for the Markdown people actually deal with every day: answers from AI assistants, README files, technical docs, notes, and specs. If you save output from AI chat tools as Markdown, PilcrowMD renders it perfectly - headings, lists, tables, code, and math - instead of showing you raw symbols.

WHY PILCROWMD

- Beautiful reading first - premium serif type, a low-contrast dark theme, and layout tuned for real reading, not a cramped IDE.
- Read AND edit - switch between a clean rendered preview and a real source editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and undo/redo.
- Never loses your work - saving writes back exactly what you wrote, with no silent reformatting and no half-written files. Your file is safe.
- Free, no ads, no account, no tracking - nothing to sign up for, nothing watching you. Fully open source (GPL-3.0).
- Fast and offline - native Android, no browser engine, opens large files smoothly and works with no connection. Only Mermaid diagram rendering uses the internet.
