Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

iPad is useful for reading AI specs, notes, plans, and research drafts, but raw Markdown syntax can make long files harder to scan than 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 AI-generated files on iPad workflow

Save the AI-generated .md file to Files on iPad, share it to Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown locally.

What to check before opening

Use this when the file contains headings, tables, code blocks, math, or Mermaid diagrams that need rendering.

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.
