THE AI WORKFLOW COMPANION Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants produce detailed reports. But when you open them on iPhone, LaTeX math breaks, Mermaid diagrams disappear, and code looks like a mess. RC Markdown handles all of it. A dedicated viewer built to read, render, and share AI-generated documents exactly as intended. DISTRACTION-FREE READING, BUILT FOR LONG DOCUMENTS No toolbars. No editing UI. Just your document, rendered beautifully, ready to read from start to finish. Open a file, read it comfortably, and forward it to your team. RENDERING Complex Math โ€” On-device KaTeX rendering for inline and block LaTeX equations. Technical Diagrams โ€” Mermaid support for flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and more. Clean Code โ€” Syntax highlighting for 20+ languages including Python, Swift, Rust, and TypeScript. EXPORT AND SHARE Tap Export to convert your document and open the iOS Share Sheet instantly โ€” send via Mail, Messages, Slack, or save to Files. PDF โ€” Vector-based, text-selectable, always cleanly formatted. PNG โ€” Full-document image, ready to paste into any chat or deck. HTML โ€” Self-contained file with all styles and diagrams embedded. DESIGNED FOR iOS Table of Contents โ€” Auto-generated from headings. Tap to jump, drag the panel anywhere on screen. In-Document Search โ€” Real-time highlighting with match-by-match navigation.
