About showmd
Native macOS Quick Look extension renders Markdown files with collapsible YAML metadata tables and formatted AI XML tags. Free developer tool.
Ever asked yourself why all of those SKILL.md files are rendered in plain text in MacOS Preview? showmd is a free, native macOS Quick Look extension that renders Markdown beautifully. YAML frontmatter parsed into a collapsible metadata table — collapsed by default, one click to expand. No other viewer does this. Agentic AI XML tags — and 17 more — rendered as labeled, bordered blocks instead of raw angle brackets.
