Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

OneDrive often stores work notes, AI drafts, documentation, and files shared from Microsoft 365 workflows. On iPhone, Markdown may sync as plain text without a rendered reading view.

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 OneDrive workflow

Open the Markdown file from OneDrive or Files, tap Share, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown locally.

What to check before opening

Use this for .md, .markdown, .mdx, .rmd, and .qmd files stored in OneDrive or shared from Office and Teams workflows.

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.
