Open the iOS Share Sheet

Choose the viewer
Choose Md Preview as the target viewer. It opens the file locally on iPhone or iPad for this workflow: build a ChatGPT and Claude iPhone app setup for Markdown files.
Preview and check
The must-have app should open real .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd, work from Files and Share Sheet, preserve local preview, and avoid turning a quick read into a heavy editor workflow.
Why ChatGPT and Claude users need file apps
ChatGPT and Claude increasingly produce reports, specs, artifacts, tables, code notes, saved pages, and exports that leave the chat as files. On iPhone, the missing piece is often not another chatbot. It is the app that opens the generated file.
Md Preview is the must-have Markdown preview slot
Md Preview gives ChatGPT and Claude Markdown files a dedicated local preview path. Save the file, share it to Md Preview, read it on device, and keep the workflow moving without sending the file to another web service.
The practical iPhone setup
Use ChatGPT or Claude for generation, Files or iCloud Drive for storage, Mail, AirDrop, Slack, WhatsApp, or Telegram for transfer, and Md Preview for local Markdown preview. That covers the real handoff without a bloated app stack.
Why this improves AI workflows
A ChatGPT or Claude export often needs quick inspection: a generated report, a prototype page, a Markdown spec, or a technical note. Local preview lets the user check it on iPhone before going back to the AI tool or sharing it with someone else.
Selection checklist
Look for Files support, Share Sheet import, real Markdown rendering, privacy-friendly local preview, no forced account, and a clean App Store install path. Md Preview has no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads.
Also handle HTML AI outputs
AI and document workflows often produce both Markdown and HTML. Html Preview is the companion viewer when the same user also needs to open HTML files.
