MD Browser

A fast native Markdown browser for project folders on Mac

MD Browser helps you browse, search, and review Markdown-heavy project folders without bouncing between Finder and a full editor. It’s built for README trees, implementation notes, design docs, changelogs, and fast-moving documentation that you want to read more than edit.

Built for Mac. Available now.

Use your editor to write. Use MD Browser to read, review, and move through Markdown-heavy projects faster.

Why it’s useful

  • Browse Markdown files across an open folder
  • Search docs faster than Finder plus a full editor
  • Jump through headings with a built-in table of contents
  • Spot updated files with review-style change indicators
  • Open linked files, then hand off to your editor when needed

Built for reading, not editing

MD Browser is for the moments when you want to move through project docs quickly instead of managing an IDE just to read them. Open a folder, browse the tree, search across it, follow the heading structure, and review what changed without turning a reading task into an editing session.

  • Implementation notes and technical plans
  • AI-generated docs and review workflows
  • Design docs and architecture writeups
  • Research folders and changelogs
  • Internal documentation and project handoffs

A calmer alternative to Finder plus a full editor

When all you need to do is review docs, a dedicated Markdown browser can be faster and calmer than hopping between Finder and an editor window. MD Browser stays lightweight, keeps the project structure visible, and gives you the reading and navigation tools that Markdown-heavy repos actually need.
