Open every file your AI writes. Webly is a local-first file reader and editor designed for the AI era — open HTML, Markdown, code, JSON, CSV, and PDF files generated by Claude Artifacts, ChatGPT Canvas, Cursor, v0, Bolt, or any AI tool, then edit them and export to standard formats. Supported formats: • HTML / XHTML — pixel-perfect rendering of Tailwind, custom fonts, dark themes, animations • Markdown — typeset preview with serif typography • Code — syntax highlighting for 25+ languages (Python, JS, TS, Go, Rust, Swift, Java, C/C++, SQL, ...) • JSON / CSV — pretty-printed tree view, sortable tables • PDF — full render + text search + select-and-copy • Plain text / XML / TOML / YAML — line numbers + monospace Native features beyond a browser: • Edit mode — modify text, replace images, change links inline in HTML, Markdown, and source code; save back to local storage • One-tap export — PDF (visual fidelity), PNG (long screenshot for social), Word, Markdown • Outline drawer — jumpable table of contents auto-generated from document headings • Asset panels — extract every image, link, code block, and table; download individually or zip all images • Share Extension — receive files from Messages, Mail, AirDrop, or the Files app with one tap • QuickLook extension — preview directly inside the Files app • Dynamic Island Live Activity — current document shown on the lock screen • iOS 26 Liquid Glass toolbar with full dark mode Completely local: Every file is parsed on-device. No upload, no analytics, no third-party tracking SDKs. No account, no cloud, no server. Webly never needs an internet connection to open your files. Who it's for: Developers, researchers, writers, product managers, and students working with AI-generated documents. Why not Safari: Safari can open .html but not edit it. The Files app preview is limited. .md files barely render in messaging apps. Webly handles all of these in one place — and processes everything locally.
