## What is Simple Viewer?

Simple Viewer opens files. Quietly, quickly, and without asking for anything in return.

Share any file from any app — Mail, Messages, Files, a browser, a cloud drive — and Simple Viewer renders it the way it was meant to be read. No account. No upload. Files stay on your device.

It is designed for the moment when you just need to see what's inside a file.


RENDERED WITH CARE

• PDF with smooth scrolling and pinch-to-zoom
• Markdown with typography that reads
• Source code with precise syntax highlighting
• JSON, XML, and YAML, pretty-printed
• CSV and TSV, as readable tables
• Excel spreadsheets (XLSX)
• Word documents (DOCX)
• ZIP archives, browsed inside
• Plain text, logs, and scripts
• x509 certificates


BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD

• Open from any app via the iOS share sheet
• Recent files, one tap away
• Orientation-aware on iPad
• Works offline. Always.


NOTHING YOU DON'T NEED

No sign-up. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. No cloud sync. No bloat.

Just a clean surface for reading what you already have.

Because simple is elegant.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-06-18

This update brings HTML viewing and extends dark mode across every screen.

• HTML, HTM, and XHTML files now open directly in the viewer.
• Dark mode follows your system, end to end — from the launch screen through History and every renderer.
• Stronger privacy: HTML and Markdown render strictly offline. Remote images, stylesheets, fonts, scripts, frames, and pop-ups are blocked at the WebKit layer, even when raw HTML is embedded inside a Markdown file.

### 1.1 — 2026-05-02

Batch view, made effortless.

• Open multiple files at once. Pick a group from Files, or share several from another app — they stay grouped as one batch.
• Tap the blue file title in the viewer to switch between files from the same batch, without leaving the screen.
• Your history now keeps the order you added files. Opening a file no longer sends it to the top.
• A cleaner top bar with on-demand search. Tap the search icon only when you need it.

### 1.0 — 2026-04-22

No release notes.
