Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

Claude can produce specs, notes, implementation plans, and research drafts as Markdown. On iPhone, raw Markdown is readable but not always comfortable.

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 Claude Artifacts workflow

Save the Claude Artifact as .md, open it from Files or the Share Sheet, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown locally.

What to check before opening

Use this when the artifact includes headings, lists, code blocks, tables, 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.
