Every response from Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot arrives in Markdown. Most apps show you the symbols. ShowMarkdown shows you the document — in Windows or in your browser, exactly as intended.
What you get
GitHub docs look like GitHub docs. Technical reports look like reports. Switch rendering style to match what you're reading. Want to design your own? markdownword handles custom style profiles.
YAML frontmatter isn't dumped as raw text. The title field becomes your heading, and everything else — status, owner, date — turns into a clean metadata strip.
Relative image paths resolve automatically when a file is open. Paste Markdown with a remote image URL and it renders instantly — no file needed.
AI-generated flowcharts and sequence diagrams in fenced ```mermaid blocks render as real diagrams — not code.
Toggle between rendered Preview, raw Source, or side-by-side Split view — in the Windows app. Find works in every mode.
Follows your Windows system theme automatically. Light, dark, or auto — no restart needed, no configuration required.
Take AI-generated documents to paper or PDF with Ctrl+P. Formatted output — not a wall of Markdown symbols.
ShowMarkdown costs nothing and will stay free. No subscription, no trial, no catch.
