Why Doclume

The default markdown preview renders your file. Doclume reads it.

Serif fonts for long-form prose. Proper line lengths. Themes that don't feel like a homework assignment. Whether you're drafting a spec, writing a changelog, or reading someone else's docs — your words deserve better than a white void.

Markdown

Doclume reads markdown the way you meant it to look—one experience in the browser and in VS Code, so the preview beside your editor matches what you’d share from the web app.

• Tables & tasks — ship specs and changelogs without fighting the layout
• Code blocks — syntax-colored fences that stay readable on every theme
• Diagrams — Mermaid in the preview, no round-trip to another tool
• Math — crisp formulas with KaTeX
• Notes & glossaries — footnotes and definition lists when the doc calls for them

---

Web app

Open markdown in any browser — no install, no account, no friction.

→ doclume.rabisnaqvi.workers.dev

• Paste markdown or open a local .md, .prompt, .instructions, .chatagent, or .skill file
• Pick a theme, read comfortably
• Outline (table of contents) and in-document search (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F)
• Word count and estimated reading time at a glance

Or search doclume in the Extensions panel · Marketplace page

Open preview:

OS	Shortcut
