About Markdownr
Markdownr is a powerful, native Markdown viewer that turns your iPhone and iPad into the best way to read .md files. Open Markdown documents directly from the Files app, Mail, Safari, or any app — Markdownr registers as a system-wide document handler so your files always look beautiful. WHY MARKDOWNR iOS has no built-in Markdown viewer. Markdownr fills that gap with blazing-fast native rendering, rich theming, and document navigation features that make reading long Markdown documents a pleasure. DOCUMENT HANDLING - Open .md and .markdown files from the Files app, email attachments, Safari downloads, or any app that shares documents - Browse and open files from device storage or iCloud Drive with the built-in file picker - Set Markdownr as your default Markdown viewer system-wide READING & NAVIGATION - Table of Contents: Swipe from the left to open an auto-generated navigation drawer with all headings — tap to jump to any section - Full-Text Search: Find any text instantly with highlighted results and match-by-match navigation - Pinch to Zoom: Zoom into any part of your document for a closer look - Front Matter: View YAML metadata (title, author, date, tags) in a clean styled header THEMES & APPEARANCE - 13 colour themes: Default, Ocean, Forest, Sunset, Lavender, Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Christmas, Easter, and more — each with light and dark variants - Dark & Light Mode: Follows your system setting automatically, or toggle manually - Theme Suggestions: Documents can request a specific theme via front matter, and seasonal themes are suggested based on your locale - Particle overlays and decorative elements for seasonal and holiday themes ADVANCED FEATURES - Math Support: Inline and block LaTeX expressions rendered via KaTeX - Custom theme URLs: Load themes from remote JSON files specified in front matter - Full iPad support with adaptive layout - Localised in English and German Markdownr is for developers reading READMEs, writers reviewing drafts, students reading notes, and anyone who works with Markdown files. It does one thing — view Markdown — and it does it exceptionally well.
