GrayCat Markdown is now available on iPhone and iPad. Bring the Markdown files you saved from the Mac app into iCloud, then open, edit, preview, and prepare them for publishing on the go. Core features • Open iCloud documents: shares the same iCloud.com.graycat.stickymd Documents container with the Mac app. • Choose a writing folder: authorize your own iCloud Drive folder in Files, such as a personal writing folder. • Mobile Markdown toolbar: headings, bold, italic, quotes, lists, links, and images are easy to insert. • Preview four output forms directly: Standard, Zhihu, Toutiao, and WeChat Official Account styles live inside Preview. • Keep image assets beside the document: inserted photos or image files are saved into the matching .assets folder and referenced with relative Markdown paths. • Search titles, paths, and document body text. • Publish readiness checks: review word count, headings, images, links, and code fences before copying. • Recent documents for quick return. Sync model GrayCat Markdown uses iCloud Documents and local Markdown files. It does not use a third-party cloud service or upload your content to the developer. After saving from the Mac app to iCloud, refresh the iOS document list or reload the active document to read the latest content. For a custom folder, select and authorize that folder on iOS first. Privacy • No app account required • No analytics collection • No ads or tracking SDKs • Documents stay in the local or iCloud location you choose
