How it works

Save the source file

Save the Markdown file from local Markdown files. Keep the original .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, .qmd file available in Files, Mail, a browser download, or the source app.

Open the iOS Share Sheet

Find the local Markdown file in Files, open the Share Sheet, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered document on device.

Choose the viewer

Choose Md Preview as the target viewer. It opens the file locally on iPhone or iPad for this workflow: open a local Markdown file.

Preview and check

This path keeps the file on your iPhone or iPad instead of sending it to an online Markdown renderer.

Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

Local Markdown files can come from AirDrop, Files, iCloud Drive, GitHub downloads, notes apps, or AI tools. iOS stores them, but a rendered reader makes them easier to inspect.

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 local Markdown files workflow

Find the local Markdown file in Files, open the Share Sheet, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered document on device.

What to check before opening

This path keeps the file on your iPhone or iPad instead of sending it to an online Markdown 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.
