Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

Apple Mail can receive Markdown notes, README files, AI drafts, prompts, and technical docs as attachments. iOS can save them, but raw Markdown syntax is not the best reading format.

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 Apple Mail workflow

Open the attachment in Mail, tap Share or Save to Files, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown locally.

What to check before opening

For sensitive email attachments, local preview avoids uploading the Markdown file to an online renderer.

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.
