QLMarkdown is a macOS application providing a Quick Look extension for previewing Markdown files, plus a CLI and Shortcut extension for converting Markdown to HTML. It supports themes, syntax highlighting, Mermaid diagrams, math expressions, and various Markdown flavors like Rmd, MDX, and Quarto.

Use cases

  • preview markdown files in macOS Finder with Quick Look
  • convert markdown files to html from the command line
  • render mermaid diagrams in markdown previews
  • customize markdown preview themes and extensions
  • convert markdown to html using macOS Shortcuts

When to choose
