## The Problem
Copy Rendered Markdown as Rich Text — Paste Anywhere
You have a .md file. You need its contents — headings, bold, code blocks, lists — formatted inside an email, a Google Doc, or a Slack message. Copying raw Markdown gives you asterisks and hashes. Not helpful.
ShowMeMyMD renders your Markdown and copies it as rich text in one click. Paste it anywhere that accepts formatted text.
## How It Works
Three steps. One click that matters.
1
Open your .md file
Double-click, drag and drop, or open from the terminal.
2
Click Copy Rendered
The rendered preview — with all formatting intact — is copied to your clipboard as rich text.
3
Paste anywhere
Cmd+V into your email, doc, or message. Headings, bold, code, lists — all preserved.
## Compatible Apps
Paste into anything that accepts rich text
ShowMeMyMD copies standard rich text to your clipboard. If the app accepts formatted paste, it works.
Gmail
Outlook
Apple Mail
Google Docs
Notion
Slack
Confluence
Jira
## Alternatives
How others solve this — and why they fall short
| Tool | Type | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Markdown Here | Browser Extension | Requires Chrome or Firefox. Only works inside the browser. Doesn’t handle images or complex formatting well. |
| pandoc | CLI Tool | Requires Homebrew, terminal knowledge, and a multi-step pipeline. Not exactly quick for a one-off email. |
| Online Converters | Web App | Copy your Markdown to a website, convert, copy the output, paste. Three steps too many — and your content hits a third-party server. |
| ShowMeMyMD | Native Mac App | Open your .md file. Click Copy Rendered. Paste. Done. |
