#Documentation

Everything here is authored in Markdown and rendered by the same pipeline the desktop reader ships — this page included. The docs are, quite literally, a demo of the product.

Start with the Introduction, take the Quick tour, then dig into the guides. Or browse every page below.

Introduction

What MDReader is, and what it deliberately is not.

Quick tour

The reading surface, the outline, and search in two minutes.

Guides

The reading surface

Measure, type, outline, in-document links, and large files.

Search and intents

Five intents, typed filters, and provenance on every hit.

Local-first and privacy

Your files stay put; the private index lives in MDReader's app data.

Reference

Markdown support

Every supported feature, rendered live by the pipeline.

Keyboard

Every shortcut in the reader and the palette.

MDReader

A local Markdown library for reading, searching, related notes, and side-by-side editing.
