Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

GitHub repositories, docs, and issue exports often use Markdown. After a file is downloaded to iPhone, raw syntax can make long docs harder to read.

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 GitHub files workflow

Download or save the GitHub Markdown file, open it from Files, share it to Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown locally.

What to check before opening

This path works for README.md, docs folders, changelogs, notes, and generated Markdown files.

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.
