Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

People searching for a Markdown file opener usually already have a local .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, or .qmd file from AI, GitHub, Obsidian, Notion, Mail, Files, or a cloud drive. iOS may show raw syntax instead of a rendered 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 Markdown file opener searches workflow

Save the Markdown file, open Share from Files, Mail, AirDrop, GitHub downloads, or the source app, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered document locally.

What to check before opening

Use this when the file needs readable headings, links, lists, tables, code blocks, math, or Mermaid diagrams.

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.
