Glance
Native macOS viewer for .md files. Real typography, Quick Look ready.

Glance is a native macOS application for viewing Markdown files with proper rendering and real typography. It integrates with macOS Quick Look so you can preview .md files without opening an editor. The app is intentionally read-only, with no accounts, analytics, or tracking.
Users install the app into /Applications and open it once so macOS registers it as a Quick Look provider, after which any .md file can be rendered instantly.
