Indent
Read full descriptionHide full description
Write Markdown on one side. See the page on the other. Indent is a Markdown editor. You write the way Markdown is written, a hash for a heading, stars for bold, a dash for a list, and the preview beside you turns those marks into the finished page: headings, tables, code, the checklist you will actually tick off. Indent does not format for you. It shows you what your Markdown means, as you type it. Your notes are ordinary Markdown files. Indent opens them where they already live: in Files, in iCloud Drive, in a folder on your Mac, or in the folder another notes app keeps them in, such as an Obsidian vault. It saves them back as the same text. Nothing is imported and nothing is locked in. If you stop using Indent tomorrow, every word is still yours, readable in any editor. It is the same app on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Write on the phone in the queue, open the split view on the iPad at the kitchen table, finish on the Mac with the outline open beside you. An Indent folder in iCloud Drive keeps the file in step. When the piece is done, share it as a PDF or HTML, or print it from the Mac, on A4 or Letter depending on where you are. Choose a look that suits the writing. Seven themes, each with a light and a dark face, from warm paper to plain black on white. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. A note never leaves your device unless you share it. Indent is free, and if it earns a place in your day there is a tip jar inside. What you get • Markdown highlighting as you type, a formatting bar above the keyboard, a Styles panel, keyboard shortcuts • A live preview with real tables, checklists, nested lists, quotes, images and coloured code in more than forty languages • Split view on iPad and Mac, with the preview following as you scroll • An outline of your headings, and Find in both the editor and the page • Files from Obsidian, Jekyll and Hugo open cleanly, front matter included • Saves as UTF-8, opens most older text encodings • Standard CommonMark with tables, strikethrough and task lists

ZeroPage is a read-only viewer for quickly and beautifully reading Markdown, HTML, text, and PDF documents stored in iCloud Drive on iPhone and iPad. Write anywhere, read comfortably. ZeroPage focuses on one thing: reading. Your ZeroPage folder in iCloud Drive becomes your document library. Browse folders, find documents by filename or body text, and reopen recent documents from History. It shares the same library with ZeroPage for Mac, so you can continue on iPhone or iPad while you’re out. You can also open .md, .markdown, .html, .htm, .txt, and .pdf files from the Files app or other apps. Get to what you need • Jump through long documents with the heading outline • Find words and passages with in-document search • Library search looks in filenames and body text—reach the right file from a half-remembered line • On iPhone, focus on the body; on iPad, show the library, outline, and body side by side Markdown, HTML, text, and PDF • Place PDFs in the same folder and read them there. Move around with the embedded table of contents and body search • Display Markdown with tables, task lists, code blocks, Mermaid diagrams, local images, and links in a readable layout • Code blocks are syntax-highlighted by language and can be copied with one tap • Plain .txt is shown with line breaks and spacing preserved—not interpreted as Markdown • Local HTML also supports outline and in-document search • Share the original file • Adjust text size, line spacing, and appearance • Supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type Built for reading READMEs, specs, meeting notes, research notes, documents written by AI. We read every day, yet apps made for reading are surprisingly rare. With ZeroPage, you can focus on the content without worrying about editing the original by mistake. External images, styles, fonts, and JavaScript in HTML are limited by default. ZeroPage is not a general-purpose web browser—it’s a viewer for reading documents you already have, safely. For documents you trust, you can allow only what you need for the current reading session. ZeroPage Premium The app shows ads. Premium is a monthly auto-renewing subscription. While subscribed, all ads on iPhone and iPad are hidden, and you can export Markdown, HTML, and text documents as PDF. After export, you can choose in Settings whether to open the share sheet or save to Files. Restore purchases and manage your subscription in the app. Document loading, search, display, and PDF generation run on your iPhone or iPad. Network communication occurs only if you allow loading external resources such as images in HTML. Terms of Use: https://516k.net/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://516k.net/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Indent at none against ZeroPage's shown. Indent also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
