A Kotlin Multiplatform library that renders Markdown as native Compose UI on Android, iOS, Desktop, Web (Wasm/JS) and macOS. It parses Markdown into an AST via JetBrains Markdown and maps each node to overridable Compose components, with Material 2/3 theming and streaming support.

Use cases

• render markdown as native compose ui in a kotlin multiplatform app
• display markdown content on android and ios from one codebase
• render gfm tables and task lists in compose
• stream llm output as markdown in a chat ui
• customize how markdown elements are rendered in compose
• show markdown readme content in a desktop jvm app

When to choose

• you use Compose Multiplatform and need consistent Markdown rendering across Android, iOS, desktop and web
• you need full GFM support including tables, task lists and GitHub alerts
• you render streaming markdown such as LLM chat responses
• you want per-element customization via overridable components

When to avoid

• your project is not Kotlin/Compose based
• you only need to convert Markdown to HTML or plain text rather than native UI
• you target platforms outside the Kotlin Multiplatform ecosystem
