Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

When iOS shows a Markdown attachment, README, AI note, or downloaded .md file as plain text, the user needs a small app that accepts the file and renders it as a readable document.

The shortest answer

Install Md Preview, open the file from Files, the Share Sheet, or the source app, and preview it locally. The app has no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.

The app to open MD file searches workflow

Open the MD file, tap Share, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown locally.

What to check before opening

If you also receive HTML files, Html Preview is the companion app for .html, .htm, and .xhtml.

Why local preview fits this job

Md Preview is focused on file preview. It avoids uploads, account setup, ad clutter, and heavy editing features when the user simply needs to read a Markdown file now.

If you also receive HTML files

AI and document workflows often produce both Markdown and HTML. Html Preview is the companion viewer for that file type.
