Open and edit Markdown files from iCloud Drive, right where they are. Browse your folders, read a clear preview, and save changes back to the same file. Note.md is a Markdown editor for iPhone and iPad. Keep working with the documents you already have, without moving them into a separate note library. READMEs, notes, drafts, and meeting minutes—open your usual folder and continue. YOUR FOLDERS, WITHIN REACH Open a folder from iCloud Drive or Files and browse its structure. Return through recent files, search for text, or use the outline to jump to a heading. READ CLEARLY. EDIT DIRECTLY. Preview headings, lists, tables, and code. Use formatting tools to add bold text, links, and more, then save your changes to the original Markdown file. PREVIEW AS YOU WRITE Turn on inline preview to check the section you are editing without switching away from the editor. Close it whenever you want more room for your text. LISTEN AND LEAVE A NOTE Read documents aloud, keep a memo separate from the original text, organize reading lists, or record and transcribe voice notes. Use the tools you need alongside your document. FREE ESSENTIALS • Open files and folders • Read, edit, and save Markdown • Inline preview, search, outline, and recent files • Read-aloud while the app is in the foreground • Share Markdown and plain text The free version also includes memos for up to 3 documents, up to 3 saved voice notes, and 1 reading list.

YOUR DATA Document contents are not sent to external analysis services. Syncing and file downloads through iCloud Drive or other providers depend on your storage settings and connection. Transcription requires a supported device, OS, and language. Speech assets may need to be downloaded before first use.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Note.md at none against MD Share's shown. MD Share's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
