Show HN: mdfocus – A distraction free Markdown reader for your localhost

[timz]

LLMs generate a lot of Markdown—Claude exports, ChatGPT conversation dumps, research notes, wiki-style docs.

I found myself constantly opening these in VS Code or converting them just to read comfortably.

So I built mdfocus: a zero-config local reader that you point at any folder and start reading instantly (npx mdfocus ~/notes).

It's not a static site generator or a publishing tool—just a clean, focused way to consume Markdown locally.

Includes live-reload, auto-generated table of contents, Mermaid diagrams, dark and other modes, and reading status tracking with color tags.
