Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

A user searching for a Markdown viewer download usually has an .md file waiting from ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub, Obsidian, Notion, email, or Files. Plain text is not enough when the file has headings, code, math, tables, or Mermaid.

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 Store download searches workflow

Open Md Preview on the App Store, install it, then open the Markdown file from Files, Mail, AirDrop, cloud drives, GitHub downloads, or the iOS Share Sheet.

What to check before opening

Use this path when the goal is reading local Markdown files on iPhone or iPad, not maintaining a full writing workspace.

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.
