ZeroPage is a read-only viewer for quickly and beautifully reading Markdown, HTML, text, and PDF documents stored in iCloud Drive on iPhone and iPad. Write anywhere, read comfortably. ZeroPage focuses on one thing: reading. Your ZeroPage folder in iCloud Drive becomes your document library. Browse folders, find documents by filename or body text, and reopen recent documents from History. It shares the same library with ZeroPage for Mac, so you can continue on iPhone or iPad while you’re out. You can also open .md, .markdown, .html, .htm, .txt, and .pdf files from the Files app or other apps. Get to what you need β€’ Jump through long documents with the heading outline β€’ Find words and passages with in-document search β€’ Library search looks in filenames and body textβ€”reach the right file from a half-remembered line β€’ On iPhone, focus on the body; on iPad, show the library, outline, and body side by side Markdown, HTML, text, and PDF β€’ Place PDFs in the same folder and read them there. Move around with the embedded table of contents and body search β€’ Display Markdown with tables, task lists, code blocks, Mermaid diagrams, local images, and links in a readable layout β€’ Code blocks are syntax-highlighted by language and can be copied with one tap β€’ Plain .txt is shown with line breaks and spacing preservedβ€”not interpreted as Markdown β€’ Local HTML also supports outline and in-document search β€’ Share the original file β€’ Adjust text size, line spacing, and appearance β€’ Supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type Built for reading READMEs, specs, meeting notes, research notes, documents written by AI. We read every day, yet apps made for reading are surprisingly rare. With ZeroPage, you can focus on the content without worrying about editing the original by mistake. External images, styles, fonts, and JavaScript in HTML are limited by default. ZeroPage is not a general-purpose web browserβ€”it’s a viewer for reading documents you already have, safely. For documents you trust, you can allow only what you need for the current reading session. ZeroPage Premium The app shows ads. Premium is a monthly auto-renewing subscription. While subscribed, all ads on iPhone and iPad are hidden, and you can export Markdown, HTML, and text documents as PDF. After export, you can choose in Settings whether to open the share sheet or save to Files. Restore purchases and manage your subscription in the app. Document loading, search, display, and PDF generation run on your iPhone or iPad. Network communication occurs only if you allow loading external resources such as images in HTML. Terms of Use: https://516k.net/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://516k.net/privacy/

You find a link worth saving. You read a quote worth keeping. You discover a band worth remembering. By the time you switch apps, find the right file, and paste it in β€” you've lost your train of thought. AppendX gives you two ways to get it down. Share from any app on your iPhone, or open AppendX and capture a thought that isn't on screen anywhere. Either way it lands in exactly the right markdown file, formatted exactly how you want it. SMART TARGETS Set up your destinations once β€” a file for books, one for links, one for ideas. Each with its own emoji, format, and file. AppendX reads your files' headings to name targets automatically, and suggests icons as you type. LISTS, BLOCKS, OR YOUR OWN FORMAT Capture as a clean list item that adapts to whatever you share, a block that keeps every piece of data, or build a custom template with tokens. A live preview shows exactly what will land in your file β€” before you commit. PASTE AS MARKDOWN Copy a paragraph from the web and paste it into AppendX. Bold stays bold. Links stay links. iOS hands most apps plain text and drops the formatting β€” AppendX reads the clipboard's HTML instead, so what you copied is what you keep. TYPE, TALK, OR PASTE Capture mode opens straight to a text field. Type it, dictate it with the keyboard's microphone, or paste formatted text from anywhere. SMART CAPTURE Different apps share data differently β€” AppendX sorts it out. Clean URLs with tracking junk stripped. Real titles instead of bare hostnames. Selected text recovered even when apps bury it in odd places. What you meant to save is what gets saved. NEVER LOSE DATA Every capture is queued locally before it's written. If iCloud hiccups, your capture waits safely and syncs when your files are reachable. A full history shows everything you've captured and its status. WORKS WITH YOUR SETUP Any app that stores markdown files: Obsidian, iA Writer, 1Writer, or a plain folder. iCloud Drive or on-device storage. No account, no analytics, no server β€” your notes never leave your control. Free, with an optional tip jar if it earns a place in your routine.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: AppendX at none against ZeroPage's shown. ZeroPage's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
