Provides a formatted and highlighted view of Markdown files in Terminal
historique
mdless is a Ruby terminal Markdown viewer and pager by Brett Terpstra. It provides formatted, highlighted Markdown output in the terminal, with pager behavior, syntax highlighting support, table formatting, themes, images through helper tools, and TaskPaper-related features.
The GitHub repository was created in August 2015, and the README explains the original motivation: the author wanted a quick terminal way to view Markdown files without using `qlmanage -p` from an iTerm2 visor workflow.
The changelog shows a long-lived 1.x and 2.x project. Version 1.0.0 marked an early maturity point, version 2.0.0 switched to Redcarpet parsing and added the `~/.config/mdless/config.yml` file, and later 2.1.x releases added and refined TaskPaper, metadata, image, theme, table, Ruby compatibility, and terminal-copy behavior.
mdless spread through RubyGems and Homebrew. The README documents both `gem install mdless` and `brew install mdless`, while RubyGems reported more than 360,000 downloads and Homebrew tracked stable version 2.1.68 in 2026.
Unlike some newer Rust terminal viewers, mdless is strongly tied to the Ruby CLI ecosystem and Brett Terpstra's macOS-terminal workflow, but it remains packaged as a standalone Homebrew formula.
Typical use is `mdless [options] path` or piping Markdown into it with `cat path | mdless`. The pager is selected from `$PAGER`, `less`, `more`, `cat`, or `pager`.
The first run writes `~/.config/mdless/config.yml`, and customization uses `~/.config/mdless/mdless.theme` plus optional named theme files. The README documents persistent options for colors, links, images, syntax highlighting, TaskPaper behavior, width, wiki links, and related rendering choices.
mdless is significant as an early dedicated Markdown pager for terminal users, especially before richer Rust and Go terminal Markdown renderers became common. It made Markdown viewing feel like a natural extension of `less` instead of a browser or preview-app task.
For packagers, mdless is a classic Ruby CLI with optional external helpers: Pygments for code highlighting and imgcat or chafa for image rendering. That makes it simple to install but richer when companion tools are present.
