First of all, everything I find seems to be an editor. I don't want an editor. I want a reader. I want a window that shows me the rendered markdown file, not its source. Sure, I don't care if it also edits, but if I cannot set it up to display just the rendered markdown on startup then it's not what I'm looking for.

Second, the few actual readers out there are browser based. I don't want to open the browser to read a rendered markdown file. I want a standalone window that does just that.

Lastly, I want the rendered markdown file to follow my GTK/QT theme, or at least have settings to do it.

I would prefer it to not be Electron-based.

The closest thing I've got to it is the terminal program Glow, but because it's a terminal program, it has some obvious limitations in its capability of rendering a markdown file.

Formiko is a Gtk3 markdown editor written in Python. It does have a preview only mode and it will remember to enter that mode on startup once it's selected the first time, but the preview is currently unstable.

Marktext is an Electron WYSIWYG markdown editor (the preview mode is also the edit mode, everything except the section that is currently being edited will be rendered). It does not currently support custom themes, but the feature is planned to eventually arrive.
