Open any text, source code, config, or log file on your iPhone or iPad in seconds — even when iOS Mail or the Files app says the format is unsupported. Whether someone just emailed you a server .log, a .yaml deployment config, a .cfg or .ini file, or a Python/JSON script, myTextViewer opens it cleanly with offline syntax highlighting, line numbers, and instant in-file search. No accounts. No cloud uploads. And zero ads while you are reading a file. WHY DEVELOPERS, SYSADMINS & POWER USERS KEEP IT INSTALLED • Opens Anything Text-Based — Unknown or non-standard file extensions (.log, .cfg, .conf, .diag, .env, .ini, .dat, .sql, .md, .toml, and more) open directly as readable text instead of hitting an "unsupported file" dead end. • 100% Offline Syntax Highlighting — Automatic syntax coloring for Python, JSON, YAML, XML, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Swift, C/C++, C#, Java, Ruby, Shell scripts, SQL, and more. Use the toolbar menu (‹/›) to switch languages or view as Plain Text, remembered automatically per file extension. • Fast In-File Search — Jump straight to the error or config key you need with live match counting ("3 of 12") and next/previous navigation. • Your File Library on the Home Screen — Every file you open is saved to your searchable home screen library so you can reopen it anytime with a single tap, or tap "+" to import files directly from the Files app. • Comfortable Reading Anywhere — Switch between Light, Dark, and System appearance in place without losing your scroll position. Toggle line numbers and pinch-to-zoom with a tap. • Smart Encoding & Large File Support — Cleanly reads UTF-8, UTF-16, BOM-prefixed logs, Windows-1252, and multi-megabyte log files without garbled characters or freezes. • 100% On-Device Privacy — Your files never leave your device. Decoding, syntax highlighting, and search run entirely locally on your iPhone or iPad. TWO EASY WAYS TO OPEN A FILE 1. From Mail, Files, Slack, or Messages: Tap Share on any attachment or file and choose myTextViewer. It opens right away and stays in your library for next time. 2. Directly Inside myTextViewer: Tap "+" in the top-right corner of the home screen to pick and open any file from your device or iCloud Drive.
