The actual workspace

Not a concept. This is the app.

These captures come from the current macOS build, so the product preview reflects what people will actually download.

Proview app in light mode showing search results in the project workspace — **Search gets its own place.**Search results stay in Proview while the project tree remains visible.

Read docs like docs

Markdown files open in the native workspace, with the project context still close at hand.

Local by default

Proview works with the files already on your Mac. No account is needed to browse a project.

Project comprehension

Open a README and get the shape of the work.

Good project docs are not decoration. They tell you what is safe to change, where the app starts, and what the next handoff needs.

✓ GitHub-style Markdown rendering
✓ Local HTML preview with asset paths intact
✓ File metadata when a format cannot render

Proview in light mode showing a rendered Markdown README in the native preview pane — **Markdown that reads like a document.**Headings, links, code blocks, and project context stay in one native window.

Local actions, made explicit

Start and stop previews when you mean to.

HTML folders expose a play control at the edge of the project tree. Start a temporary local server, inspect the rendered page, then stop it from the same control.

Questions worth answering

Keep the useful bits. Skip the theatre.

Is Proview another IDE?

No. It is a native workspace for browsing projects, understanding context, and taking small local actions. Keep using the editor you like.

What happens to my files?

Proview is local-first. The app reads files from your Mac and does not require an account to browse a project.

How does the free launch work?

This release is available free while we continue building the product. Trial and licensing features may arrive in a later update.
