EmmeD: The Markdown reader your Mac deserves. Not an editor.

EmmeD opens md files the way Preview opens PDFs: double-click and read a beautifully typeset page. Project sidebar, live reload, Mermaid + LaTeX offline, QuickLook, PDF export. Native SwiftUI, sandboxed, no accounts. €0.99 once, macOS 14+.

Hi PH! 👋 EmmeD exists because of a complaint I couldn't stop thinking about: Markdown files are everywhere — READMEs, notes, agent-generated plans — but everything that opens them is an *editor* with a preview mode. There was no Preview.app for Markdown. So I built the viewer: 📄 Double-click any .md → it opens as a typeset page (EmmeD registers as the default handler; spacebar QuickLook works too) 🗂 Open one file, browse the whole repo — it detects npm/Xcode/Python/Rust/Go projects and shows every Markdown file in a Finder-style sidebar ⚡ Live reload — save in your editor, or let your AI agent rewrite a plan, and the page updates instantly 📊 Mermaid diagrams and LaTeX math, rendered fully offline from bundled assets 🎨 Every style adjustable — fonts, spacing, measure, independent light/dark 🔒 Native SwiftUI, ~12 MB, sandboxed, zero analytics, zero accounts It's €0.99 once — no subscription. macOS 14+. The 1.1 features (Mermaid, QuickLook, frontmatter handling) came directly from what people asked for in public threads, so tell me what's missing and it may well be in 1.2. Grazie! 🇮🇹

That sidebar that mirrors your folder structure is a really thoughtful touch, makes jumping between chapters feel as smooth as flipping through a book. Native SwiftUI with proper sandboxing too, that kind of polish is rare at this price point.

@iris_kingsley thanks so much! Enjoy
