mdmdview1.16.0

Open Markdown files in mdmdview to read formatted documentation, notes, specifications, and other Markdown content in a native Windows interface. Its rendered view supports CommonMark parsing, tables with headers and striped rows, internal anchor links, emoji—including shortcode expansion such as :rocket:—and diagrams written in Mermaid, Pikchr, or D2. Syntax highlighting covers more than 100 programming languages, while Raw Mode lets you inspect and edit the source in the same window.

Keyboard-focused navigation includes extensive shortcuts, browser-style back and forward history, adjustable zoom, and Unicode-aware search that normalizes accents. Dragging files or folders opens them immediately, multiple dropped files can be placed in a queue, and linked images refresh automatically when their files change. Legacy non-UTF-8 documents can be opened through lossy decoding, and the application remembers its window position, size, and zoom level between sessions.

Built by 0x4D44 with Rust and egui, mdmdview is a single executable of about 4.8 MB with embedded assets, native file dialogs, built-in example documents, and a custom Windows icon with full metadata. It can also open a document from the command line with mdmdview document.md, making it useful for developers, technical writers, and anyone reviewing Markdown locally. The Windows build is x64, requires Windows 8 or later or Server 2012 or later, and is open-source.

The project describes mdmdview as working across Windows, Linux, and macOS, while its Windows release provides the stated desktop integration.
