What is yomeru?

yomeru is a browser app for opening .md files without the fuss. It clears away the symbols and lays the contents out at A4 / Letter size. No download, free to use. Your files are processed entirely inside your browser and never sent to a server, so they stay safe.

How it works

  1. Open a file or folder

    Drag the .md file you want to read onto the page, or pick one from "Open file". You can also select a folder of .md files and browse through them together.

  2. Read it

    Your document is previewed at a readable A4 / Letter size, and a clickable table of contents appears down the left (if it is hidden on a narrow window, press to bring it out).

  3. Edit and save

    Press "Source" to switch to the editor and change the text. You can then save the .md file back to your computer, either over the original or under a new name.

    Saving over the original works only when you opened the file in Chrome or Edge.

  4. Print

    Press "Print" and it comes out at A4 / Letter, exactly as shown on screen.

  5. Export

    The "Save / Export" button also gives you PDF and Word (.docx).

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is processed inside your browser and nothing is sent to a server. It works with your connection off.
Which files can I open?
.md, .markdown and .txt. Any file whose contents are Markdown will work, whatever the extension. You can also open a whole folder and pick files from the list.
Do I need an account or an install?
Neither. Everything works from the moment you open this page.
How do I save as PDF?
Choose "PDF" under "Save / Export" and the print window opens. Pick "Save as PDF" as the destination and save. Your browser creates the PDF on this device, so the file is never sent anywhere.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. You can open files stored in the cloud too, such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
