.html is an HTML document viewer. It is not an editor: no code writing, no console, no syntax highlighting. It stores the HTML files you already have, keeps them organized, and opens them when you need them. AI generates more HTML files than ever: reports, calculators, dashboards, interactive summaries. They come out of a chat, get opened once in a browser, and disappear among tabs and downloads. .html is the tool for handling them. FREE AND PRO .html is free: open and view any HTML with the full viewer, and save up to 3 documents. With .html Pro, as a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase, you get unlimited documents, versions, folders, search across the text of all your documents, PDF export and merging documents. WHAT IT DOES • Saves every HTML inside the app — its own copy, which opens offline. • Shows it full screen, with no address bar and no tabs. • Runs the document as it is: its scripts, styles and buttons all work. • With Pro, organizes files into folders, with pinned documents on top and sorting by date, name, or your own order by dragging. • Groups them by date automatically: today, yesterday, last 7 days, last 30 days. • Shows each document with a real thumbnail. • Follows your iPhone's light or dark appearance. • Works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. On iPad, the list and the document are side by side. PASTE HTML Did the chat give you code instead of a file? Copy it, tap + and choose "Paste HTML". It's saved as a document instantly, even if it's just a snippet. EXPORT AS PDF (PRO) Share any document as a PDF, exactly as you see it on screen: with anything you checked or filled in, and with its colors. Ready to send, print or save to Files. SEARCH • Searches titles and folders; with Pro, also the text inside every document, ignoring case and accents. • Inside a document, the magnifying glass highlights every match and takes you from one to the next. VERSIONS (PRO) Import a file with the same name again and it isn't duplicated: it's saved as a new version of the same document, which moves to the top. Earlier versions stay there, with their dates, and you can open any of them. MEMORY A document opened in Safari starts from scratch every time. Not here: whatever the document saves stays saved. Tick a checkbox in a list, fill in a form, switch a tab in a dashboard — close the app, come back days later, and it is exactly as you left it. Each document keeps its own state, and none can read another's. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. The app never connects to a server: your documents never leave your iPhone. ADDING DOCUMENTS Through the + button: pick a file from the Files app or paste the code you've copied. Also via "Open with" from Files, Safari or Mail.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: .html at none against HTML Viewer & Editor's shown. HTML Viewer & Editor's advantage is ratings volume (26 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. HTML Viewer & Editor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and .html sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for HTML Viewer & Editor against 4.5 for .html. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Viewer & Editor has 26 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
