Share Markdown Online Without Sending the File
Write Markdown, preview it, and send someone a clean read-only link to the rendered workspace.
Markdown is now part of everyday development. Architecture notes, project plans, code snippets, and documentation often live in Markdown files. With Claude, Codex, and other coding agents, we create and review these files at a much faster pace. Mermaid diagrams are often part of that workflow too.
Writing and previewing Markdown is easy. Sharing it is where things become inconvenient. You can send the file, push it to GitHub, or start a Live Share session. But the other person may still need an editor, a repository, or a few extra steps before they can read it.
RenderMD came from that small, repeated problem. I wanted to send someone the rendered document directly—not another setup task.
What RenderMD does
RenderMD is a local-first Markdown workspace. Write or open a document, see the preview update live, and share the exact workspace when it is ready.
- Live Markdown preview
- Mermaid diagrams and code snippets
- Four built-in themes, including rice-inspired styling
- Optional wallpapers with adjustable opacity
- PDF export
- Read-only share links
When someone opens a shared link, they can read the rendered document without an account or Markdown editor. They cannot edit your content.
RenderMD does not replace GitHub, VS Code, or Live Share. It solves a smaller problem: sending a Markdown document and letting someone read it immediately.
