Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

AI assistants often produce .md files for summaries, specs, plans, and technical notes. iOS can show text, but it does not always provide a clean rendered Markdown preview.

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 ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini workflow

Save the .md file, open it from Files or the Share Sheet, and choose Md Preview to render it locally.

What to check before opening

Use this path when you need readable headings, lists, links, code blocks, math, or Mermaid instead of plain 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.
