Markdown Editor and MD Viewer vs Filepad Markdown

Markdown Editor & MD Viewer is a clean, offline Markdown editor and viewer for iPhone and iPad. Open any .md file, edit it with a live preview, and export it to PDF, HTML, or Word — with no subscription, no account, and no sign-in. Most Markdown apps now lock syncing or basic features behind a monthly fee. This one doesn't. The full editor is free, works completely offline, and keeps your files as plain .md — yours to move, back up, and own. WRITE WITHOUT DISTRACTION • Distraction-free editor with a live preview pane • Syntax highlighting for fenced code blocks • Focus styling that dims the markup so your words stand out • Word, character, and reading-time counts • Find & Replace • A formatting toolbar above the keyboard, plus hardware keyboard shortcuts on iPad OPEN AND VIEW ANY MARKDOWN • Open .md, .markdown, and .txt files straight from the Files app • Set as your default Markdown opener — "Open in" from Mail, Safari, and other apps • Tables, task lists, blockquotes, footnotes, and links render in the preview • LaTeX math and a linked table of contents EXPORT AND SHARE • Export to PDF for printing and sharing • Export to HTML • Export to Word (.docx) that opens in Word, Pages, and Google Docs • Copy as HTML or share the raw .md file STARTER TEMPLATES • README, notes, blog post, and more — start from a clean structure PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works fully offline • No account, no login, no cloud lock-in • Your documents stay on your device Built for developers, technical writers, students, and anyone who keeps notes in Markdown. No subscription. No account. Just a Markdown editor that respects your files.

Filepad opens the Markdown you already have — in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or on this iPhone — and leaves it exactly where it is. Nothing is copied into the app. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. FINDS WHAT IS QUIETLY WRONG HTML tells you when you break it. Markdown does not — it just renders differently, and you never notice. Filepad reads your document the way the renderer does and points at the lines that will not come out the way you meant: a heading with no space after the #, a table row with the wrong number of cells, an unclosed link, a footnote with no definition. One tap fixes what can be fixed by adding text. Nothing is ever deleted to "fix" something. READS PROPERLY Headings, tables, task lists, quotes, code blocks, footnotes, front matter, and [[wiki links]] between documents in the same folder. Jump by heading with the outline, or with the four navigation buttons that sit under your thumb. FINDS THINGS Search inside a document with every hit highlighted, or search a whole folder and see which files hold what you are looking for. Sort by name or by when you last changed something. EDITS AND SAVES CAREFULLY Edit the source with a toolbar for the marks you forget, and a line that tells you what the cursor is sitting on. Saving is atomic, and the previous version is kept beside the file so an edit can be undone. If the file changed outside the app while you were editing, Filepad does not overwrite it — it saves your version alongside and asks you. ALSO OPENS PDF, HTML AND TEXT PDFs and web documents are view-only. HTML is drawn with network access blocked at two independent layers, and when a document tries to reach the internet for an image or a script, Filepad says so on screen instead of quietly fetching it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sync service of ours. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The app makes no network requests at all. Your folders, your files, your device. Free, and staying free.
