MD+HTML Reader

The core job is separating docs from everything else. Point MD+HTML Reader at a project folder and it lists only Markdown and HTML files, ignoring source code, dependencies, and build artifacts. That means the reading list matches what you actually came to read, not the whole repo. It supports .md, .markdown, .html, and .htm.

Every document opens in a read-only view, so reviewing a generated file never risks changing it. The app renders Markdown with a document outline and supports Mermaid diagrams for flowcharts and similar visuals. HTML artifacts preview in a sandboxed reader that respects local CSS. Need to edit? Do that in your original tool.

The reader tracks what you viewed and what changed on disk, then lists recent work docs by viewed and modified time. After a long agent session, you can return to handoff-notes.md or release-report.html without reopening the whole project tree and hunting through folders that mostly hold code and build output. It's a small feature that saves a surprising amount of hunting.

Search finds documents inside the current project without leaving the app. Live refresh watches the files on disk and updates the view when they change, so a file rewritten by another tool shows its new content without a manual reload. Together they keep the reader in step with a project that's still moving.

Document content is read locally and never uploaded. Files open from local folders on your Mac, and the app keeps document content and local paths on your machine. That's the whole point. Mixed with the read-only design, it makes the reader a reasonable fit for private repositories where you'd rather not push generated docs through a cloud service.
