Why this Markdown workflow breaks on iOS

Notion exports, Obsidian vault copies, GitHub downloads, AI note bundles, and documentation archives can arrive as zip files that contain Markdown documents. iOS can unzip the archive, but the .md files still need a rendered reader.

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 zipped Markdown exports workflow

Unzip the archive in Files, open the Markdown file inside, share it to Md Preview, and read the rendered document locally.

What to check before opening

Keep related images or asset folders beside the Markdown file when the export references local media.

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.
