Description
PilcrowMD is a beautiful, distraction-free Markdown reader and editor for Android. Open a .md file and read it the way it was meant to look - clean serif typography, a warm dark theme, and generous spacing that make long documents a pleasure to read on a phone.
Built for the Markdown people actually deal with every day: answers from AI assistants, README files, technical docs, notes, and specs. If you save output from AI chat tools as Markdown, PilcrowMD renders it perfectly - headings, lists, tables, code, and math - instead of showing you raw symbols.
WHY PILCROWMD
- Beautiful reading first - premium serif type, a low-contrast dark theme, and layout tuned for real reading, not a cramped IDE. - Read AND edit - switch between a clean rendered preview and a real source editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and undo/redo. - Never loses your work - saving writes back exactly what you wrote, with no silent reformatting and no half-written files. Your file is safe. - Free, no ads, no account, no tracking - nothing to sign up for, nothing watching you. Fully open source (GPL-3.0). - Fast and offline - native Android, no browser engine, opens large files smoothly and works with no connection. Only Mermaid diagram rendering uses the internet.
EVERYTHING MARKDOWN
- Full CommonMark + GitHub Flavored Markdown - Tables, task lists, strikethrough, and links - Syntax-highlighted code blocks - LaTeX math ($$…$$) - YAML front matter - Wide tables and code scroll sideways without breaking the page
READER TOOLS
- In-document search with highlighted matches and next/previous - Auto-generated table of contents from your headings - Remembers your scroll position per file - Open .md straight from your file manager, share sheet, or email attachment - Adjustable text size and selectable reading fonts
PERFECT FOR
- Reading and saving answers from AI assistants and large language models - README files and project documentation on the go - Technical specs, notes, and meeting docs - Anyone who works with .md / .markdown files
PilcrowMD opens .md, .markdown, and .txt files. No sign-up, no ads, no nonsense - just the cleanest way to read and edit Markdown on Android.
