The application provides a live preview for GitHub‑flavored Markdown, supporting emojis, tables, alerts, MathJax expressions, and Mermaid diagrams. It watches files or directories using native filesystem events and updates the view efficiently, automatically scrolling to the last edited location. Keyboard shortcuts give access to navigation, search, history, and other actions, and a side outline highlights the current section.

It is available both as a single binary and as an installable desktop program, running on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The core parsing, AST handling, and position calculations are implemented in Rust, while the UI layer uses TypeScript and React inside a platform‑specific WebView. Multiple windows can be opened simultaneously, and a YAML configuration file allows customization of themes, shortcuts, and CSS.

The project is distributed under the MIT license and is considered stable, though version 2 is a work in progress, a complete rewrite of the original implementation.
