EmmeD
The Markdown reader your Mac deserves. Not an editor.
EmmeD opensmd 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! 🇮🇹

Who hunted EmmeD?
EmmeD was hunted by LiveLife Apps. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
