Chapter 01

One calm surface for the files developers already open.

Not a notes database. Not an IDE. Not an office suite. A focused reader and editor for the everyday files that interrupt real work.

.md / .mdx

Markdown reader and editor

README files, docs, changelogs, notes and technical writing with beautiful rendering.

.txt

Plain text

Fast editing and clean typography for notes, logs and scratch files.

.html

Local HTML

Open saved HTML documents without turning reading into a browser session.

.docx

DOCX editing

Everyday Word documents inside the same local workspace.

.pdf

PDF reading

PDFs are read-only, fast and part of the same pinned document flow.

.png / .jpg / .webp

Image viewer & editor

Crop, rotate, adjust, add text and export images — without launching a heavy editor.

Chapter 02

Not light and dark. Day reading and night reading.

ViewRight's identity is typography, whitespace and quiet ink. Themes change the lighting conditions without turning the product into a developer console or dashboard.

Paper & Ink

Warm paper for daylight reading.

Off-white pages, black ink and a restrained blue accent that feels editorial.

Midnight Library

Night reading without gamer black.

Soft contrast, warm text and quiet blue for long sessions after dark.

Chapter 03

Built between the tools you already use.

ViewRight does not replace specialist apps by copying every feature. It replaces the daily habit of opening five different readers for five ordinary local files.

Less than VS Code

No terminal, extensions or project ceremony when you just want to read a document.

Simpler than Obsidian

No vault model, graph anxiety or plugin dependency. Open the file where it lives.

Broader than Typora

Markdown is the wedge, but the workspace extends to text, HTML, DOCX and PDF.

Lighter than Word

Document-centric rather than suite-centric, with editing where it makes sense.

Windows alpha

Stop opening five apps to read local files.

Join the waitlist for early Windows builds, release notes and the chance to shape the app before it goes wide.
