A reading-first Markdown engine for macOS
Your Markdown lives in a dozen folders. Most of the time you don't want to write — you just want to read one section. Every Markdown tool is a writing app with a preview pane. MuM is the opposite: a native macOS reader with no web engine inside — all AppKit. Several projects open at once, each remembering where you stopped. Cross-project search. Typesetting tuned for CJK as well as Latin. ~0.3s cold start, 1.7 MB download, 100+ fps scrolling a 5 MB document. Open source, MIT.
MuM is a native macOS Markdown reader designed for efficient reading rather than writing, featuring cross-project search and optimized typesetting for CJK and Latin scripts. It is open source under the MIT license, with a cold start time of approximately 0.3 seconds and capable of scrolling 5 MB documents at over 100 fps.
Scored deterministically. Only candidates that fire a story trigger are sent to a model, so this one has no written angle.
Gaps in our data, not findings about the product. Their weight is redistributed across the 5 we did measure.
A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
