silkprint read
Your terminal, upgraded
A scrollable reader built on the same themed engine as the PDF path — so what you read in your terminal is exactly what lands on the page.
Diagrams, tables & alerts — inline
Mermaid diagrams rasterized right in the flow, GitHub-style alerts, and striped tables.
Live theme switching
Press t and preview any of 40 themes instantly. No restart, no config edit.
Search & navigate
Incremental search with highlighted matches, an outline sidebar, and link following.
Pipe-friendly one-shot
Styled ANSI when piped, with graceful fallbacks for images and glyphs.
Inline images — Kitty, iTerm2 & Sixel, with halfblock fallback
Mermaid diagrams — rendered to images inline
Outline + search — jump by heading, search with highlights
Follow links — open .md in-reader, back/forward history
Live reload — re-renders the moment you save
Graceful degradation — truecolor → 256 → 16, Nerd Font → ASCII
One engine. Every mood.
The same document across the SilkCircuit family — and 35 more themes, each styling the reader and the PDF together.
Keyboard & mouse
The mouse scrolls, clicks links and outline entries, and drags to scroll.

From developer favorites to print-perfect classics — and every one styles your terminal reader and your PDF the same way, with WCAG-checked contrast.
