Read.md vs BackStep AI

Open any .md file and read it beautifully — on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Read.md is a markdown reader. Not an editor, not a note-taking app, not a vault system. A reader. Tap a .md file, it opens, it looks great, you read it. PERFECT RENDERING Tables, code blocks, nested lists, task lists, blockquotes, images, links — everything renders correctly. Syntax highlighting for 180+ programming languages. GitHub Flavored Markdown fully supported. MERMAID DIAGRAMS Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, class diagrams, and more render natively. Tap to zoom into any diagram for a detailed view. EXPORT TO WORD, PDF & HTML Turn any document into a real Word (.docx) file with proper headings, tables, lists and code blocks, a clean, paginated, print-quality PDF, or a self-contained HTML file — diagrams and images intact. Share it, print it, archive it. Or export the original Markdown source. (Word, PDF and HTML export are Read.md Pro; Markdown export is free.) OPEN FROM GITHUB Read documentation straight from the source. Browse any GitHub repository — public or private — navigate its file tree, and open any .md file with the same beautiful rendering. Sign in with a personal access token; your token stays on your device. (Read.md Pro) SMART DIAGRAM FIXER ASCII art and box-drawing diagrams that look broken in other apps? Read.md detects and corrects misaligned characters automatically so your diagrams look the way they were intended. NAVIGATE LONG DOCUMENTS Auto-generated table of contents from your headings. Search within any document with match highlighting and next/prev navigation. Your scroll position is remembered when you come back to a file. ZERO FRICTION No account needed to read. No workspace. No vault. No setup. Works as your default .md file handler — open markdown and plain-text files from Files, Finder, email attachments, AirDrop, the share sheet, or drag and drop. ADAPTS TO YOUR DEVICE iPhone: stacked navigation with a frosted-glass nav bar and bottom sheets. iPad: landscape split-view, portrait slide-over panels, trackpad and keyboard support. Mac: split-view with sidebar, reader, and table-of-contents panel, keyboard shortcuts, and translucent panels. Everything adapts automatically when you resize windows or rotate your device. DARK AND LIGHT MODES Switch between dark and light themes, or follow your system setting. Adjust font size to your preference. Everything updates live. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Opens instantly, even large files. Your markdown is rendered entirely on your device — file contents are never uploaded, and reading works fully offline. No ads. No account required to read. The only feature that touches the network is GitHub browsing, and only when you choose to use it. We use anonymous, aggregate analytics to improve the app. READ.MD PRO A one-time purchase — or a yearly subscription with a free trial — unlocks Word/PDF/HTML export and GitHub browsing. Everything else stays free, forever. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR Reading AI-generated markdown exports. Turning markdown into Word documents for colleagues. Reading GitHub README files on mobile. Viewing documentation and project specs on the go. Reviewing technical docs from colleagues. Browsing personal notes written in markdown.

RECORD WHAT YOU TAKE APART. REBUILD IT STEP BY STEP. BackStep AI gives the physical world an Undo button. Record yourself taking something apart, mark the moments that matter, organize the parts, and turn your approved sequence into a clear reverse guide. HOW BACKSTEP WORKS • Create a project for whatever you are building, disconnecting, moving, or servicing. • Record the process and tap Mark Step whenever an important action happens. • Review and edit the captured steps before creating your guide. • Organize screws, cables, panels, brackets, and components in PartMap. • Follow your own process backward in focused Rebuild Mode. • Replay the original moment whenever you need more context. BUILT FOR REAL PROJECTS Use BackStep for electronics, computers, appliances, furniture, bicycles, camera setups, holiday displays, restaurant equipment, hobby equipment, and general household projects. BackStep is not limited to one device or one category. APPLE VISION PRO Continue compatible projects in a spatial workspace. Review the reverse sequence, inspect a volumetric PartMap, and follow one rebuild step at a time with your original evidence nearby. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Projects and recordings remain on your device unless you choose to export or share them. Local processing is preferred where supported. AVAILABLE IN THREE LANGUAGES Use BackStep AI in English, Español, or Français from the in-app Settings screen. HONEST GUIDANCE BackStep organizes what you recorded. It does not replace manufacturer instructions or qualified service guidance, and it never invents safety-critical specifications. Free includes three user-created projects; the sample project does not count. BackStep Pro offers unlimited projects and additional premium workflows through optional auto-renewing subscriptions.
