the problem

Markdown sits between too many tools.

One app to read. Another to edit. Finder to move between files. A terminal when an agent needs the folder. Markview puts that work in one native window while keeping the files plain and local.

a look inside

one file or the whole workspace

Start with a document. Open its folder when you need the surrounding work.

Markview reading the Fieldnote launch document with the workspace explorer open — read with the workspace open · the document and its surrounding files together

Markview editing the Fieldnote document in WYSIWYG mode — edit · formatting controls and the workspace stay within reach

Markview reading the Fieldnote document in a focused view — focus · collapse the explorer when the document needs the whole window

Markview reading a Markdown document with its workspace explorer open — workspace · read the document without losing sight of the folder around it

what it does

everything around the document

read without the editor noise

Open Markdown as a clean document. Pick a typeface, text size, line spacing, and appearance that makes long files easy to read.

edit the way you think

Switch between visual editing and Markdown source. Tables, tasks, links, lists, quotes, and code are always close.

open the whole folder

Use the native file tree, Quick Open, and one search across filenames and Markdown contents.

ask a local agent

Hand work to your existing Codex CLI or Claude Code setup. Markview keeps their permissions, models, and authentication untouched.

keep several files together

Native title-bar tabs let you move between documents without opening a row of separate windows.

work offline by default

Reading, editing, search, preferences, and folder indexing stay on your Mac. There is no account and no analytics.

local by default

your files stay on your Mac

Reading, editing, search, preferences, and workspace indexing happen locally.

Agent chat only starts when you ask. It uses the CLI you already installed, with the model, account, permissions, and sandbox rules you already chose.

Markview stores no provider credentials and adds no hidden prompt.
