vmd

Features

GitHub style: The markdown content is rendered as close to the way it's rendered on GitHub as possible.

File watching: Local files opened in vmd are watched for changes and the viewer will automatically update when a file has been changed. This makes it ideal for writing documents in your favorite text editor and get a live preview.

Standard input: View any markdown text from other programs by piping another program's output in to vmd. Check out the examples for cool use cases.

Drag & Drop: Drag files from your file browser or desktop on to a vmd window and render it. Hold the Shift key while dropping to open the file in a new window.

Navigation: Navigate within linked sections in a document, open relative links to other documents in the same window or in a new one (shift-click), and always be able to go back in the history. And open links to directories in your file manager and external links in your default browser.

Clipboard: Copy links and local file paths to the clipboard, and even copy images in binary format to paste them in to your image editing software.

Emojis: Displays emoji. Take a look at the Emoji Cheat Sheet for a list of available emoji.

Checklists: Renders GitHub-style checklists.

Search in page: Search within your markdown file and scroll to the results. Select "Edit -> Find" from the menu or hit Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on OS X).

Customization: Select different themes and provide your own styles to make vmd look the way you want. Take a look at the Options for an overview of available customization options.

Front Matter: Renders Front Matter in YAML and, if enabled, in TOML and JSON so you can preview your Jekyll and Hugo content in vmd. See some examples.
