Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

Markdown files can contain private AI notes, technical specs, drafts, meeting notes, and internal documentation. Uploading them to an online renderer just to read them is often the wrong workflow.

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 online Markdown renderers workflow

Keep the Markdown file on your device, open Share or Files, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered document locally.

What to check before opening

Use this path when you need preview and reading, not collaborative editing, publishing, or converting the Markdown file.

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.
