Read CHM
Read CHM is a Mac utility for opening and reading CHM (Compiled HTML) files, which are a legacy eBook format commonly found in Windows documentation and technical manuals. CHM files bundle HTML content with an index and table of contents into a single compressed archive, making them a convenient offline reference format. Read CHM lets macOS users view these files without needing Windows or Windows virtualization, and is particularly useful for developers, IT professionals, and anyone dealing with older technical documentation that was originally distributed in CHM format.

1 suggestionRead CHM appears to be an older application with no clear indication of active development or a native Apple Silicon build. The most established native alternative for reading CHM files on macOS is Chmox, an open-source Cocoa application that has been available for many years and can open CHM documents on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. While Chmox's last major release was in 2005, it remains a simple and functional CHM reader for macOS. Another option is to use command-line tools like extracted-cmake or similar utilities if you prefer a more modern workflow, though these require terminal knowledge. If you only occasionally need to read CHM files, you might also consider using an online CHM viewer or converting CHM documents to PDF format for broader compatibility.
