Md Preview for local Markdown preview
Md Preview is the focused viewer slot: open .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd from Files or the iOS Share Sheet, preview locally on iPhone or iPad, and avoid account, upload, or ad friction.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and Codex for generation
Use the AI app to create the report, artifact, spec, note, prototype, or export. This page focuses on what happens after that AI output becomes a real Markdown file.
Files and iCloud Drive for handoff
Keep the Markdown file available in Files, iCloud Drive, Downloads, or a synced folder so it can be opened from the Share Sheet without copying content back into the AI chat.
Mail, AirDrop, Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram for transfer
Use the transfer app that actually received the Markdown file, then share the saved .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd file into the viewer. This covers common iPhone work and AI collaboration paths.
Html Preview for HTML companion preview
Use Html Preview when the same AI, Files, Mail, or Share Sheet workflow produces .html, .htm, .xhtml instead of .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd.
