Open, edit, and save plain-text files on iPhone and iPad. • Open compatible files from Files and edit the original when the file provider allows it. • Keep several documents open in tabs. • Find and replace text, jump to a line, and adjust the font, text size, and line wrapping. • Save new documents where you choose, preserve supported text encodings and line endings, and print when needed. • Start a blank document from the New Text Home Screen widget. Unsaved work is protected by local recovery on your device until you save or discard it. Recovery is not cloud backup. Saved files stay in your chosen Files location; your file provider handles any synchronization. MacPad Mobile is free, with no ads, subscriptions, or In-App Purchases. No account is required. The app collects no data and contains no analytics or tracking. Available in English and German.
