How MD HD Works

How it works

A short path from raw file to calm reading.

The system is intentionally boring: authenticate securely, preserve source identity, render on demand, and never rewrite the cloud file.

01

Choose a source

Select individual Markdown files through Apple Files or authenticate Dropbox through its OAuth screen. MD HD never asks for a cloud password.

02

Build the library

Files selected through Apple Files become private library copies and count toward the imported-document limit. Dropbox metadata is synchronized separately and retains its source path.

03

Read on demand

Open a document for PDF-like typography, links, lists, tables, code blocks, and images.

04

Organize deliberately

Favorite documents and search by title or path. Eligible plans offer app-managed folders for connected Dropbox documents only, not Imported Files.

05

Export when needed

Super Premium can create a shareable PDF while the original Markdown remains unchanged.

Read-only

Dropbox access is scoped for reading. MD HD does not rename, move, or edit cloud files.

Path-aware

Source paths remain attached to documents and disambiguate duplicate filenames.

Limit-aware

Imported-document and cloud-account limits are enforced at persistence boundaries, not only hidden in the UI.
