MarkDeck vs Leaf

MarkDeck is a fast, beautiful reader and editor for Markdown, PDF, EPUB and Word documents on iPhone and iPad. Open any .md, .pdf, .epub or .docx file and read it your way — with your own themes, your own fonts and a clean, focused layout. Whether you're a developer viewing README files, a student with PDF handouts, a writer keeping Markdown notes or a book lover with an EPUB library, MarkDeck makes reading a delight. BEAUTIFUL RENDERING FOR EVERY FORMAT Markdown rendered with pixel-perfect precision: scrollable tables, syntax-highlighted code, clickable links and inline images. PDFs and EPUB books open in the same calm reader, one library for everything you read. VISUAL MARKDOWN EDITOR Write and edit like in a word processor: headings, lists, tasks, quotes, code, links, images and tables edited in place, with the Markdown view one tap away. Create new notes and save them straight into your library. READ AND EDIT WORD DOCUMENTS (.DOCX) Edit Word documents on iPhone and iPad, free: fix a typo, rewrite a paragraph, add bold or italic. The file keeps its layout, tables and images. Open Word documents as real pages, like a PDF: page size, headers and footers, tables, images and charts kept. Search the text, jump through the contents built from its headings and pick up where you left off. With Pro, export them to PDF. Templates (.dotx) and macro-enabled files (.docm, .dotm) open too; macros never run. SAVE A COPY Keep any document in Files: choose the folder and the name, and the library copy stays as it is. Free. FILL PDF FORMS Fill in interactive PDF forms (text, checkboxes, options and lists) and save a copy while the original stays untouched. 20 READING THEMES 15 themes free (Light, Dark, Sepia, Paper, AMOLED, Nord, Dracula, Solarized, Gruvbox, Tokyo Night and more) plus 5 premium palettes with MarkDeck Pro. Switch themes without leaving the page. YOUR FONTS, YOUR WAY One font for the app, another for what you read, so a cozy serif for your book never restyles your menus. Two fonts free, eight more with Pro. COMFORTABLE PDF READING Fit-to-width zoom remembered per document, Night and Warm color modes (Pro), password-protected PDFs, and continuous or page-by-page navigation. FULL-SCREEN READING One tap hides everything but the page, with a slim progress line so you never lose your place. BOOKMARKS, HIGHLIGHTS & NOTES Bookmarks that take you back to the right spot. Highlight any passage, pick a color and add a note (Pro), then find every highlight and note in one place. A table of contents jumps to any chapter. ORGANIZE YOUR LIBRARY Group documents into collections, search your library and pick up right where you left off. READING STATS Total time, streak and sessions at a glance; Pro adds a full activity heatmap. OPEN FILES FROM ANY APP Got a .md, .pdf or .epub in Mail, Files or a chat app?
