MarkView: Modern Markdown Viewer EN

MarkView is a fast markdown viewer that opens .md files right in your browser and processes everything on your device - Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz and WaveDrom diagrams, KaTeX math, syntax highlighting, smart TOC, and export to Word, HTML, and PDF.

🌐 UNIVERSAL MARKDOWN READER - WORKS EVERYWHERE
Use MarkView as your MD file viewer for:
- Local files (file:///) - enable "Allow access to file URLs" in Edge settings
- GitHub raw files (raw.githubusercontent.com)
- GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea raw file URLs
- Any URL ending in .md, .markdown, .mkd, .mdx, or another markdown extension, served as plain text
- Plain .txt files rendered as markdown for convenience

⚠️ NOTE: MarkView renders RAW files only. It won't activate on sites that already render markdown (GitHub blob pages, ReadTheDocs, GitBook, etc.) - those have their own rendering.

👥 PERFECT FOR
- Developers previewing README, CHANGELOG, and API documentation
- Technical writers using MarkView alongside their editor for live preview
- Students and researchers reading notes with math equations and diagrams
- Data scientists reviewing Jupyter markdown cells
- AI developers reading llms.txt from repos and documentation sites
- Content creators and writers previewing blog posts, wikis, and documentation drafts

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Zero data collection - no personal information collected, ever
- No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry, no cloud services
- All processing happens locally in your browser
- Your files never leave your device - the one optional network feature (the PlantUML diagram server) is off by default and requires your explicit consent
- Settings stored locally using Edge's storage API
- Built on trusted, widely used open-source rendering libraries
