MD File Viewer

A focused Markdown editor with live preview — like Sublime Text, but built for .md files only.

Desktop Windows v1.0.0 Electron

What MD File Viewer does

Type Markdown on the left, watch it render live on the right. MD File Viewer gives you GitHub-flavored rendering with syntax-highlighted code, KaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, task lists, footnotes and tables — plus tabs, a command palette, a folder sidebar, and a formatting toolbar.

The renderer never touches the filesystem directly: all reads, writes and dialogs happen in a secure main process with context isolation on. You get auto-save with crash recovery, per-save version history with diff and restore, export to self-contained HTML or PDF, and .md file association so double-clicking a file in Explorer opens it here.
