Question 1

What is MDReady?

Accepted Answer

MDReady is a local-first browser workbench for cleaning up Markdown produced by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Paste a draft, edit it visually, then export a clean Markdown file you can publish anywhere.

Question 2

Does MDReady upload my document anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Editing happens entirely in your browser. The document, paste buffer, and exported file never leave the page. The only network calls are loading the app and optional anonymous usage analytics that exclude any document content.

Question 3

Which AI tools does it work with?

Accepted Answer

Anything that outputs Markdown — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Mistral, your local Llama. Special handling for ChatGPT math widgets ensures formulas render correctly when you paste a Copy-Response payload.

Question 4

Do I need to know Markdown to use this?

Accepted Answer

No. The editor is fully WYSIWYG. Markdown only shows up when you copy or export the document.

Question 5

Which export formats are supported today?

Accepted Answer

Clean standard Markdown (copy or download). Other publishing targets — Word, Google Docs, Medium, Substack, MDX, PDF, and more — are on the roadmap and prioritised by community votes.

Question 6

Why is everything local?

Accepted Answer

AI drafts often contain confidential work. Local-first means your content stays on your device — no accounts, no cloud sync, no upload.
