Webly vs Bamboo Lite

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.

Bamboo (简帛) is a beautifully restrained, fully offline reader built for one thing: making long-form writing readable again. That tutorial you bookmarked. The newsletter you've been meaning to finish. The lecture notes shared in a group chat. The README that scrolls forever. Open them in the Files app and they show up as broken plain text or mangled code blocks. Bamboo turns them into ink on rice paper — measured line height, restrained type, IDE-grade code highlighting, generous white space. WHO IT'S FOR • Read-later collectors who actually want to read it later • Bloggers and newsletter writers • Students and researchers reading lecture notes & papers • Developers reading READMEs and technical blogs • Anyone who wants to finish a good article without distraction REFINED TYPOGRAPHY • Full GFM: headings, tables, task lists, footnotes, blockquotes • Prism.js highlighting for 20+ languages, one-tap copy • Built-in humanist fonts (LXGW WenKai), live font-size control OPEN FROM ANYWHERE • .md / .html from WeChat, Telegram, Mail, Files — tap "Open with..." → done • Or open files directly from the Files app • Share Extension brings Bamboo into every share sheet ONE PIECE, MANY USES • Export as a long image — share to social with watermark • Export as PDF with auto-generated outline • Three curated themes: White Silk, Dark Bamboo, Cyan Reed ON YOUR DESK • Read documents auto-land on the "Bookshelf" • Star to keep favorites within reach • "Timeline" walks back through your reading journey PURE PRIVACY • No accounts. No cache. No cloud servers. • 100% local parsing & rendering, fully offline • No analytics SDK, no ads, no tracking For the written word — Bamboo.
