ReadMark

A fast, native Markdown (.md) viewer for Windows.

ReadMark opens Markdown files and renders them - with tabs, a heading sidebar, find, print. It's built natively for Windows on .NET 8 and WebView2.

This repository is the public home for ReadMark downloads, issue tracking, and documentation. ReadMark is proprietary software — the application source code is not distributed here (see License).

ReadMark viewing a Markdown document

What ReadMark Does

  • Opens .md files from Explorer, "Open with", drag & drop, or the command line.
  • Renders GitHub Flavored Markdown (tables, task lists, footnotes, alerts, emoji, …) or strict CommonMark — switchable at runtime.
  • Tabs for multiple documents, with a collapsible heading sidebar for navigation.
  • Find in document, Go to line, zoom, and full screen.
  • Print (and Save as PDF) through a custom print dialog with preview.
  • Light / Dark / System appearance, plus Modern and Classic chrome themes.
  • Remembers recent files and, optionally, restores your open tabs.
  • Private by design: no telemetry, no cloud, no account.
