Git Blog vs PreviewMD

Git Blog turns your iPhone or iPad into a powerful blogging tool — draft, edit, and publish markdown posts directly to your GitHub repository, all from one beautifully simple app. Whether you use Jekyll, Hugo, Astro, or any static site generator, Git Blog connects to your repo and lets you create content on the go. No laptop required. DRAFT WITH EASE Write posts using a block-based markdown editor that makes formatting effortless. Add headings, lists, quotes, code blocks, and more with a tap. Drag and drop blocks to reorder your content exactly the way you want. ADD IMAGES NATURALLY Snap a photo or choose from your library. Git Blog processes and uploads your images alongside your post. Choose from layout options like full-width, half, side-by-side, and more to get the look you're after. FLEXIBLE FRONTMATTER Create reusable frontmatter templates for your site's content types. Define custom fields — text, dropdowns, even image pickers — so every post starts with the right structure. Or import frontmatter from an existing post in your repo. PUBLISH YOUR WAY Push directly to your main branch, create a new branch, or open a pull request — whatever fits your workflow. Git Blog handles the commit, including all your images, in one clean push. BROWSE YOUR SITE Explore your repository's file structure right from the app. Open any existing markdown file, make edits, and republish. Your entire site is at your fingertips. FEATURES: - Block-based markdown editor with drag-to-reorder - Camera and photo library integration - Image layout classes (full, half, side, main, third) - Reusable frontmatter templates with custom fields - Multiple publish modes (push, branch, pull request) - Repository browser for editing existing content - Light, dark, and system appearance modes - Secure token storage in your device's keychain - Works with any GitHub-hosted static site Git Blog is built for bloggers who love the control of GitHub but want the convenience of mobile. Write anywhere. Publish everywhere.

PreviewMD is a fast, native editor and viewer for Markdown on iPad and iPhone — the same rendering as the Mac app, free on both. Open any .md file from Files or iCloud Drive, or start a new document right in the built-in browser. FOUR WAYS TO WORK • Preview — a clean reading view • Split — live preview beside the Markdown source, side by side on iPad and stacked on iPhone • Source — the Markdown alone, full width • Diff — see exactly what you've changed since you opened the file, word by word BEAUTIFUL RENDERING • GitHub-flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, footnotes and strikethrough • Syntax highlighting for almost two hundred languages • Math typesetting with KaTeX — $inline$ and $$display$$ • Diagrams with Mermaid — flowcharts, sequence, class, state, pie and gantt • GitHub-style alert callouts (> [!NOTE], [!WARNING], …) and emoji • Automatic light and dark mode WRITING ON A TOUCHSCREEN A formatting bar sits above the keyboard for bold, italic, inline code, headings, quotes, lists and links. With a hardware keyboard the same actions have shortcuts. YOUR DOCUMENTS, YOUR IMAGES Works with the Files app and iCloud Drive — documents open in place and save as you type, with no Save button to remember. Local images referenced by your document display right in the preview. EXPORT, SHARE & PRINT Export self-contained HTML or clean light-mode PDF straight to the share sheet, or print with proper pagination. QUICK LOOK Markdown files preview with PreviewMD's renderer in the Files app too. ONE APP EVERYWHERE Free on Mac as well — including Quick Look previews and thumbnails in Finder. Requires iOS/iPadOS 17 or later.
