When working with agents on my phone (whether via OpenClaw, Codex or Claude Code) I often end up with markdown files on my desktop computer that I want to read from my phone.

So I made [mdview](https://github.com/HartreeWorks/mdview), a utility that generates a temporary link to view those files, rendered in HTML, in my mobile browser.

Requires Tailscale.
