Viewr

Read Markdown, beautifully.

Most Markdown applications are built for editing. Viewr is built for reading. Whether you are reviewing a README, browsing project documentation, or opening a Markdown file from Finder, Viewr gives you a clean, native reading experience without the complexity of a full editor.
