RepoRead

macOS

Read GitHub repositories like a book — no clone, no setup.

RepoRead is a small native macOS app for reading code. Paste a GitHub URL, get a tree of files with proper syntax highlighting, and keep reading offline afterwards. Built for the times you just want to look at a project without setting one up.
