## What is CleanMD?

CleanMD turns PDFs, scans, screenshots, and document images into clean Markdown you can copy, save, or share.

Built for people who collect knowledge on iPhone and iPad, CleanMD helps you move source material into note apps and AI tools without turning the workflow into a platform.

What you can do:
- Import PDFs or images from Files or Photos
- Choose Obsidian-ready, AI-ready, or Plain Markdown output
- Preview the converted Markdown before exporting
- Copy, save, or share Markdown files
- Keep recent results locally on your device

Privacy-conscious by design:
- No account required
- No ads
- No tracking SDK
- Files are uploaded only when you choose to convert
- Converted results stay on this device unless you export them

To convert a file, CleanMD uploads it to a secure third-party parsing service. Please do not upload sensitive personal, legal, medical, financial, or confidential documents unless you accept third-party processing.

CleanMD is a focused utility for turning static documents into portable Markdown for study, research, writing, and personal knowledge workflows.
