A read-only Windows document reader that typesets Markdown, LaTeX, notebooks, diagrams, source code, data files, subtitles, and other text formats.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The reader organizes rendered material around the document rather than the file extension: headings become a contents rail, numbered equations become anchors, and diagrams, tables, diffs, subtitles, and source code receive format-specific treatment. The homepage lists 177 extensions, including notebooks, Graphviz files, email messages, cue sheets, CP437 artwork, and 60 source grammars. It also states that files remain read-only, Ctrl+U reveals their underlying text, and the engine makes no network requests.
