MD ReaderDark mode and text size for reading markdown on Android
Long markdown documents, like specs, study notes or a 3,000-word AI answer, are tiring to read with small text, bright white backgrounds or lines that run across the whole screen. A few settings make a big difference.
Themes
MD Reader has five themes:
| Theme | Good for |
|---|---|
| Auto | Follows your phone's light/dark setting |
| Light | Daytime, printing |
| Sepia | Long reading sessions, warmer and softer than white |
| Dark | Evenings and low light |
| Black | OLED screens: true black saves battery and is easiest at night |
Code blocks, math and diagrams switch colors with the theme, so they stay readable.
Text size
Open Reading settings → Text size and adjust until you can read without holding the phone close. The setting applies to every document.
Page width
Page width sets how long each line can be:
- Narrow / Normal: comfortable line length for prose
- Wide / Full: more room for tables, code and diagrams

Font
Choose Sans for a clean screen look or Serif for a more book-like feel on long texts.
