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.
