Features

Everything you need to build a better README.

One focused workspace for the file every repository has — and most get wrong.

  • Live Preview

    See your README as you write — GitHub-flavored Markdown, highlighted code, tables and alerts.

  • README Review

    Find missing sections and improve structure with deterministic checks. No made-up scores.

  • Quick Insert

    Add common README components instantly: install steps, badges, tables, images and code.

  • Templates

    Start from professional structures for libraries, CLIs, APIs, web apps and profiles.

  • Themes

    Customize how your README looks with eight themes and any accent. The Markdown stays portable.

  • Local-first

    Your README stays in your browser. Autosaved to IndexedDB — no account, nothing uploaded.

  • Export

    Copy or download your final Markdown, or copy the rendered content with formatting intact.

  • Keyboard-first

    Command palette on ⌘K / Ctrl K, formatting shortcuts and full keyboard access.

How it works

From blank page to README.

  1. 01

    Write

    Start blank or from a template. Quick Insert handles the boilerplate.

  2. 02

    Customize

    Pick a theme and accent to see how your README reads.

  3. 03

    Review

    Fix what the review flags — missing sections, broken links, unlabeled code.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Download README.md, commit it, and move on to the next thing.
