Read.md

Open any .md file and read it beautifully — on your phone, tablet, or desktop.

Read.md is a markdown reader. Not an editor, not a note-taking app, not a vault system. A reader. Tap a .md file, it opens, it looks great, you read it.

PERFECT RENDERING

Tables, code blocks, nested lists, task lists, blockquotes, images, links — everything renders correctly. Syntax highlighting for 180+ programming languages. GitHub Flavored Markdown fully supported.

MERMAID DIAGRAMS

Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, class diagrams, and more render natively. Tap to zoom into any diagram for a detailed view.

SMART DIAGRAM FIXER

ASCII art and box-drawing diagrams that look broken in other apps? Read.md detects and corrects misaligned characters automatically so your diagrams look the way they were intended.

NAVIGATE LONG DOCUMENTS

Auto-generated table of contents from your headings. Search within any document with match highlighting and next/prev navigation. Your scroll position is remembered when you come back to a file.

ZERO FRICTION

No account. No workspace. No vault. No setup. Works as your default .md file handler — open markdown files from your file manager, email attachments, share sheet, or other apps.

ADAPTS TO YOUR DEVICE

Tablet: split-view with sidebar, reader, and table of contents panel. Landscape and portrait layouts.
Phone: stacked navigation with Material Design. Optimized for touch.

Everything adapts automatically when you resize windows or rotate your device.

DARK AND LIGHT MODES

Switch between dark and light themes, or follow your system setting. Adjust font size to your preference. Everything updates live.

FAST AND PRIVATE

Opens instantly, even large files. Everything runs locally — your files never leave your device. No data collection. No ads. No tracking. No account required. Fully offline.
