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.

Zabbix Toolbar
Read full descriptionHide full description
Zabbix Toolbar puts every active problem from your Zabbix servers on your iPhone and iPad. One list, grouped by server, with the count on the app icon. No more browser tabs for each Zabbix, expired sessions or alert emails nobody reads. Zabbix Toolbar talks directly to your servers using the standard Zabbix API — nothing to install on the server. SEE EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE • Active problems from all your servers in one list • Severity, duration and host groups on every problem • Tap a problem for its details, or open the event in the Zabbix frontend • Swipe to mark problems as seen and the count goes down WIDGETS • Home screen: Problems (small, medium, large) and Servers (small, medium) • Lock screen: circular and rectangular widgets with the pending count • Widgets keep the last data and show how old it is when a server is offline NOTIFICATIONS • A notification only when a problem is actually new; High and Disaster are Time Sensitive • Mark as seen straight from the notification • Many new problems at once become a single summary • Background checks are scheduled by iOS — usually every 15 minutes to a few hours — so alerts are approximate. For real-time on-call paging, keep using Zabbix media types. ONLY WHAT MATTERS TO YOU • Ignore host groups you don't care about — in the list, the badge and notifications • Works with Zabbix 6.0 through 7.x, with an API token or username and password • Self-signed certificates supported for internal servers PRO (SUBSCRIPTION, 7-DAY FREE TRIAL) • Unlimited servers • Acknowledge, close and change severity in Zabbix, with a message • Snooze a problem for 1 hour, 4 hours, until 8 AM or a custom time • Minimum severity per server • Notification and sound per severity ONE SUBSCRIPTION, MAC AND iPHONE Zabbix Toolbar Pro subscribed on the Mac works on iPhone and iPad, and the other way around, with the same Apple ID. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Tokens and passwords stay in the iOS Keychain, on this device only • Server addresses, hosts and problems never leave your device • Anonymous usage statistics can be turned off in one switch Try it without a Zabbix server: add the demo server (https://demo.zabbixtoolbar.montoanelli.com.br, API token zbx-demo) to see how it works with sample data. Free: one Zabbix server with the full problem list and notifications. Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: myTextViewer at none against Zabbix Toolbar's 2. Zabbix Toolbar's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
