Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

Slack often carries README files, engineering notes, AI-generated specs, and Markdown attachments. On iPhone, those files can appear as raw text instead of formatted content.

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 Slack workflow

Open the Slack attachment, use Share or Save to Files, choose Md Preview, and read the rendered Markdown on your device.

What to check before opening

For private team notes, local rendering avoids sending the Markdown file to an online 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.
