MarkGlance vs Markup

MarkGlance is a minimalist Markdown viewer for iPhone and iPad — built to read documents calmly, without the visual noise that fills most editor apps. Open any .md file from the Files app, an email attachment, AirDrop, or the Share Sheet. Tap. Read. That's the loop. WHY MARKGLANCE • Editorial typography. Body text is set in a serif designed for long-form reading (New York / Iowan / Charter on iOS). Headings sit clearly in SF Pro. Code blocks render in SF Mono with syntax highlighting for 190+ languages. • Reflowing zoom — not pinch-to-zoom. The size slider re-wraps the document to your chosen size, the way a book does. Lines stay crisp at every step. No blurry magnification. • Light, Dark, and Auto themes. Your choice persists across launches. Auto follows iOS. • Print-quality PDF export. Tap Share to produce an A4 PDF with vector text, embedded fonts, justified body, real per-page margins, and content-aware page breaks. Selectable, searchable, AirDroppable. Around 10–18 KB per page. • Fully offline. No network calls. No analytics. No telemetry. No advertising. No accounts. The bundled rendering pipeline (marked.js, highlight.js, Open Sans) ships inside the app and runs on-device. • File association. Markdown files (.md, .markdown, .mdown, .mkd, .mkdn) open in MarkGlance from anywhere iOS can hand them off — Files, Mail, AirDrop, Messages, the Share Sheet, iCloud Drive. WHAT'S RENDERED • GitHub-flavored Markdown • Syntax-highlighted fenced code blocks • Tables with column alignment • Task lists with checkboxes • Multi-line and nested blockquotes • External links open in Safari; in-document anchors stay in-app WHAT'S NOT IN MARKGLANCE No editor. No syncing. No collaboration. No accounts. No subscription. MarkGlance does one thing — render your Markdown beautifully — and gets out of the way. PRIVACY Zero data collection. MarkGlance never sends anything to any server, period. Read the full policy at https://parzival74.github.io/markglance-privacy/ CONTACT Questions or feedback: zugzwang74@gmail.com

Markup reads and edits your Markdown beautifully — and it works with the folder of notes you already have, on your iPhone and iPad. POINT IT AT YOUR FOLDER — OR A GITHUB REPO • Open any folder of .md files from iCloud Drive or Files — the same vault you use on your Mac. Nothing to import, no lock-in. • Open a GitHub repo as a vault and read the whole thing offline. • Open several vaults and switch between them. READ LIKE A PAGE • High-fidelity rendering: syntax-highlighted code, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, tables, task lists, and GitHub-style callouts. • Light / Dark / Sepia themes, adjustable text size and width, Dynamic Type. • Wikilinks, backlinks with context, a per-document outline, and tags. FIND ANYTHING • Full-text search with tag: and path: filters; fuzzy Quick Open. EDIT WITH EASE • A focused Markdown editor with smart lists, auto-closing brackets, table formatting, and inline [[wikilink]] and #tag autocomplete. • Insert images straight into your vault. Export or share as PDF, HTML, or Markdown. iPAD • Open documents in tabs; edit with a live rendered preview beside the source. • Hardware-keyboard shortcuts. HTML, TOO • Open and read .html and web bundles, with scripts off by default for safety. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • No account required, no telemetry, no tracking. Your notes stay on your device and your iCloud. Signing in to GitHub is optional and only used to fetch the files you ask for. English and 简体中文, switchable in-app.
