## What is Plain Markdown?

Plain Markdown

Read your .md files in place.

Pick a folder on your iPhone or in iCloud Drive. The app lists every .md file inside — nothing more, nothing less. Tap a file to read it; the markdown is rendered with quiet, weight-driven typography that gets out of the way.

The app uses Apple's standard folder picker, so it works with iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, and any third-party Files app provider (Dropbox, Google Drive, Working Copy, etc.). Pick once, and the app remembers — drill into subfolders, come back, switch folders.

No accounts. No sync engine. No editor. Just a reader.

· Folder picker with iCloud Drive and Files-app provider support
· Drill into subfolders — back-button navigation
· Inline images (jpg, png, gif, webp, svg, heic, heif, bmp, avif)
· GitHub-flavored markdown: tables, blockquotes, code blocks, task lists, strikethrough
· Adjustable text size (5 steps)
· Light & dark mode
· Mono body font option for code-style reading
· Local only — your files never leave your device

Privacy
This app does not collect data, display ads, or communicate with any server. The folder picker is Apple's. Files are read on-device only. There are no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no telemetry.

Less, but better.
