Description of Pretext

Pretext is a simple but feature-filled Markdown and plain text editor. • Markdown syntax highlighting • HTML preview and export • Comprehensive keyboard shortcuts • Quick-tap format options • Files app/Document provider support • Seamless iOS integration • Customisable font size • Full undo/redo/revert-all-changes support • Dark theme and icon (in-app purchase required) ---- "This app is now my default solution for quickly creating .md files to share with other people." - Federico Viticci, MacStories ---- ‪Pretext is designed to work seamlessly with iCloud Drive and other file providers. This means you can open files directly from your Files app, and any changes are saved right back, available to use on other devices and in other applications. No clunky import and export steps just to make an edit – instead, you keep full control of your files. Pretext works great on all your iOS devices.

Reviews of Pretext

  • Good voiceover and voice control support

    I really like how simple this editor is to use. However, this app restricts the file extensions that are supported making it less than useful for my purposes. Please let users decide which file extensions contain plain text regardless of the file extension. I have thousands of .tex files which makes it impractical to rename them all just to edit them and then have to rename them back.
  • Exactly what the files app is missing

    I use a lot of plain text files and a lot of markdown files, and I wanted to have them sync in between my computers. I’m using iCloud and the file app which worked mostly well except for it can only read text files and can’t edit them. It’s exactly what the Files app is missing allows me to edit my plane text files and save some back and iCloud. The interface feels like it’s a native application. once installed, and you want to open a text file from iCloud in the Files app it will then be able to open in pretext app instead.
  • Replacement for Ios’ Notes’ weird removal of saving to Cryptomator

    Came across mention of this app on a site rightfully complaining about how iOS Notes inexplicably removed the basic functionality of saving a file to Cryptomator.

    This solves that. I can now use my device do things with my writings and files that I want to, and in fact bought an iPad to supposedly be able to do. Even if Apple has decided that I no longer need to do them.
