MD Viewer – Support
Email support@enkesol.com. Include your device, OS version and, if a file renders wrongly, the file or the lines in question. We usually answer within two business days.
Requirements
- iPhone or iPad with iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 or later, or a Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
- Universal purchase: one download works on all three.
Opening a document
- iPhone and iPad: the app opens in the document browser. Tap Browse, pick a location (iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, a connected service) and tap a
.mdfile. You can also open a file from the Files app or from another app's Share sheet with MD Viewer. - Mac: File → Open…, drag a file onto the app icon, or double‑click a
.mdfile in Finder (choose Open With → MD Viewer the first time, and optionally Change All… in Get Info).
Editing
Tap Edit (iPhone, iPad) or the pencil toggle in the toolbar (Mac), or press ⇧⌘E. The plain‑text source appears. Changes save automatically; ⌘Z undoes. Tap Done or the toggle again to return to reading. A new document opens straight into the editor.
Frequently asked questions
Which Markdown syntax is supported?
CommonMark plus tables and strikethrough: headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, inline code, links, ordered and unordered lists (nested), block quotes, fenced and indented code blocks, tables with column alignment, horizontal rules, hard line breaks (two trailing spaces) and images.
Not rendered (shown as plain text): raw HTML, footnotes, task‑list checkboxes, math, emoji shortcodes, GitHub alerts.
An image shows its alt text instead of the picture
- Only images with a full web address (
https://…) can be loaded. Relative paths such asimages/logo.pngcannot be read: the app is sandboxed and only has access to the document you opened. - On iPhone and iPad, SVG images are not decoded and show their alt text; the Mac renders them.
- Check the network connection: without one, every image falls back to its alt text.
Can I limit the line length on a wide window?
On the Mac, yes: text fills the window by default; uncheck View → Full Width to read in a centred column of comfortable line length. The app remembers your choice. On iPhone and iPad the text always fills the screen.
Can I change the font, colours or theme?
The app uses the system text styles and colours on purpose, so it follows your settings: text size (Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size, or the Mac's Accessibility settings), light or dark appearance, accent colour on the Mac, Increase Contrast, Bold Text. There is no separate theme.
How do I make it the default app for .md files on the Mac?
Select any .md file in Finder, press ⌘I (Get Info), choose MD Viewer under Open with and click Change All….
Where are my recent files?
iPhone and iPad: the Recents tab of the document browser. Mac: File → Open Recent. Both lists are managed by the system.
Does the app sync or upload my files?
No. Files stay where you keep them. If they are in iCloud Drive, iCloud syncs them as usual. The app has no server and collects no data; see the privacy policy.
Something renders differently from GitHub or another editor
Markdown implementations differ in edge cases. The app uses Apple's own parser (the same one used by system frameworks). If a well‑formed file renders wrongly, send it to support@enkesol.com.
