MarkView is the fastest way to read Markdown files — especially the ones ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI tools output every day.
Open a .md file and everything just works:
• Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and mindmaps show up as real pictures
• Math formulas render beautifully (great for physics, ML, and papers)
• Data charts (bar, line, scatter, heatmaps) appear as actual charts
• Tables, task lists, and 100+ code languages all styled correctly
Handy extras:
• One-click "set as default .md opener" so your files open instantly
• Built-in document stats: words, characters, lines, and AI token
estimate — useful when you're prepping prompts or checking length
• Chinese / English word counts tracked separately
• Light and dark themes, search, and adjustable font size
Made for anyone who reads a lot of Markdown — files generated
by AI agents, docs downloaded from GitHub, or your own notes.
No cloud, no account, no tracking — just open and read.

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.
