Browser Extension · Free · Works offline

Markdown files, readable at last.

Open any .md file — on the web or on your own disk — and read it as a clean, formatted document instead of raw text. Twelve themes, and not a single network request.

Install Source on GitHub

What it does

Raw text in, readable document out

Browsers show Markdown files as a wall of plain text. This extension notices when the page you opened is really a Markdown file and renders it properly — and leaves every other page alone.

Everything you actually write

Headings, bold and italic, code blocks, blockquotes, nested and task lists, tables with alignment, links, images, horizontal rules.

Twelve themes, remembered

Switch from a control in the corner of the page. Your choice is saved, synced by the browser, and applied live to every open Markdown tab.

Frontmatter handled

YAML frontmatter is shown as a muted block instead of breaking the layout the way raw renderers do.

Anchors that work

Headings get GitHub-style ids, so #section links land exactly where they should.

Local files too

Works on file:// pages once you allow file access — read your notes and READMEs straight off your disk.

Private by construction

No server, no account, no analytics, no network requests. The only thing it stores is the name of your theme. Privacy policy.

Load it from source

Download or clone the repository from GitHub.
Open chrome://extensions and switch on Developer mode (top right).
Click Load unpacked and select the repository folder.
For files on your disk: open the extension's Details page and enable Allow access to file URLs.
Open any .md file — it renders. Pick a theme from the control in the top-right corner.
