Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

AI chatbots often produce Markdown for prompts, specs, plans, meeting notes, docs, and technical answers. On iPhone, iOS may show raw syntax instead of rendering headings, links, tables, code blocks, math, or Mermaid diagrams.

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 workflow

Save the AI-generated .md file, open it from Files or the iOS Share Sheet, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered document locally.

What to check before opening

Use this for real Markdown files such as .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, or .qmd, not copied chat text.

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.
