Both1.0.1 release candidates passed acceptance and Azure login but stopped before signing because of the shared inline PowerShell wrapper. Pin the corrected, personally approved standards1.1.2 builder at083d903. Preserve failed tags; use new1.0.2 stable/dev refs, prepare direct EXE/ZIP download links, correct portable-update guidance and developer verification links, and set the next development prefix to1.0.3. Application behavior remains the reviewed and fully accepted PR37 source. Validation: five actual Markdown files pass canonical lint; actionlint and signed-commit hooks pass. Exact-head full hosted checks are running. Production publication and downloaded-artifact signature/provenance verification remain required. MSI remains next release per the owner's latest decision. OpenSSF remains70%, not passing. The owner expressly authorized completion without further human-review requests. This is a release-specific waiver, not a fabricated personal-read acknowledgement.

Make Markdown easier to read
- Make it your own. Choose from 20 document palettes, customize typography, and use a light, dark, or system app appearance.
- Follow changes as they happen. Saved edits refresh automatically. The footer shows the loaded file's modification time and flags an unsuccessful reload.
- Navigate long documents. Show Contents, jump between headings, collapse sections, and find text.
- See how it is written. Open the highlighted, read-only source alongside the document. The split starts at 50/50 and resizes by dragging.
- Share a finished document. Print from the toolbar or save a PDF with separate print styling and optional actions to open the result or its folder.
- Stay in your workflow. Open several documents, launch your configured editor, or open the current document's folder in Explorer.
Contents and Source start hidden. Turn them on when needed, or change their new-window defaults in File → Settings → General.

| Edition | Choose it for | Package |
|---|---|---|
| Stable | Everyday reading | Download EXE installer |
| Development preview | Trying upcoming changes | Download dev EXE installer |
| Portable | Running without installation | Download portable ZIP |
Download a package from Releases. Run Setup for a per-user installation without administrator rights, or extract the portable ZIP before launching the app.
Installed and portable editions check for updates through Help → Check for updates. Stable and development editions keep separate settings and update channels, so they can coexist.
Quick start
- Choose File → Open or press Ctrl+O and select your Markdown file.
- Use Theme to choose a document palette, Contents to navigate, and Source to inspect the Markdown.
- Save changes in your editor; the viewer refreshes automatically.
- Choose Print in the toolbar to print or create a PDF.
To open Markdown files in the viewer by default, use an installed copy and choose File → Settings → General → Choose default file types. Select MarkdownViewr in Windows Default Apps for your preferred extensions. Windows asks you to make that choice; installation preserves existing defaults.
