MarkdownBlaze is a fast, no-fuss viewer for Markdown (.md) files. Point it at a document, or at a whole folder, and it renders a clean, readable page in a moment, then gets out of your way.
It is also the rare Markdown viewer that prints properly. Choose from eleven document themes, switch to page view to see the document laid out on A4 sheets exactly as it will print, and pick the look for each print from a bar along the bottom of the window. Only the document is printed, never the app around it.
It understands the Markdown you actually use: tables and task lists, footnotes, code with syntax highlighting for about 190 languages, Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, callouts, and Obsidian wiki links, tags and comments.
The sidebar shows the folder you are reading as collapsible panels, with the outline of the current document. Links between Markdown files open inside the app, and the view refreshes when you save the file in your editor.
MarkdownBlaze makes no network requests of its own and has no accounts, ads or tracking. The only time anything goes online is when a document you open references a resource on the web, such as a remote image.
Files on removable media (USB drives) are reachable once you run: snap connect markdownblaze:removable-media

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install MarkdownBlaze, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install markdownblaze
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
