HTML Profi A simple HTML workspace in a single app. What is this app? HTML Profi lets you write web pages and see the result on the same screen, instantly. You write your code on one side, and watch the page come to life on the other. It updates as you type. It brings together the essential tools you need to put a HTML project together — writing, viewing, drawing, and adding files — all inside one app. Who is it for? Anyone starting to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript Teachers preparing small classroom materials People who want to put together a quick page or prototype Anyone designing digital notebooks, presentations, or interactive content What can you do? Write code and see it live. Your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript appear in the live preview as you type. Work with multiple pages. Manage all the pages in your project and move between them, not just a single file. Draw on top of your page. Use the drawing layer to add notes, arrows, or hand-drawn shapes. Add music. Place background sound on your pages. Read PDF, Excel, and EPUB files. Open documents and e-books inside the app and use them alongside your project. Manage images and sounds. All files you add are stored neatly inside the app. Color and font pickers are built in. Auto reload means you don't need to keep pressing save. Your work stays on your device. No internet connection required. In short HTML Profi is a calm, focused workspace where writing, viewing, drawing, and file handling come together in one place. Whether you are just learning or preparing pages for your own work, the same app fits both. No internet needed. No ads. No data collection.
