Read Markdown files and whole folders in Chrome, with a built-in file browser. Everything stays on your device. Read Markdown in Chrome — a whole folder at a time. Most Markdown viewers show you one file. Markdown Workspace opens the folder: drag a directory onto Chrome and you get a sidebar file tree, with relative links between documents that actually work. A docs/ folder reads like a small site, with no build step and nothing uploaded anywhere. WHAT IT DOES • Renders .md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd and .mkdn files from your disk • Built-in file browser — click through a folder without leaving the browser • Relative links and images between documents resolve correctly • Syntax highlighting for code blocks • LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams • Light, dark and system themes • Remembers where you stopped reading • Handles Japanese, Chinese and Korean text correctly, including wrapped lines PRIVACY Everything happens in your browser. No account, no server, no analytics, no telemetry. Your files are never uploaded — there is nowhere for them to go. Markdown on websites is ignored unless you add that site yourself. ONE SETUP STEP Chrome blocks extensions from reading local files until you allow it, and an extension cannot turn this on for you. After installing, open chrome://extensions, find Markdown Workspace, click Details, and enable "Allow access to file URLs". The extension shows these steps on first run and detects when it is done.
