CleanMD vs DocNavy

CleanMD turns PDFs, scans, screenshots, and document images into clean Markdown you can copy, save, or share. Built for people who collect knowledge on iPhone and iPad, CleanMD helps you move source material into note apps and AI tools without turning the workflow into a platform. What you can do: - Import PDFs or images from Files or Photos - Choose Obsidian-ready, AI-ready, or Plain Markdown output - Preview the converted Markdown before exporting - Copy, save, or share Markdown files - Keep recent results locally on your device Privacy-conscious by design: - No account required - No ads - Optional analytics only after your consent - Files are uploaded only when you choose to convert - Converted results stay on this device unless you export them To convert a file, CleanMD uploads it to a secure third-party parsing service. Please do not upload sensitive personal, legal, medical, financial, or confidential documents unless you accept third-party processing. CleanMD is a focused utility for turning static documents into portable Markdown for study, research, writing, and personal knowledge workflows.

Turn PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and 10 more formats into clean Markdown — entirely on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your documents never leave the device. No server, no account, no upload. WHAT IT CONVERTS • PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, ODT, EPUB • XLS, XLSX, XLSB, ODS, CSV • PPT, PPTX, ODP WHAT SURVIVES THE CONVERSION Tables, merged cells, footnotes, headings, bold and italic, nested lists, math formulas as LaTeX, embedded images written out next to the Markdown, and — when you convert a whole folder — the folder structure itself. SCANNED PAGES, HANDLED PROPERLY Pages with no text layer go through on-device OCR. The language is detected automatically, so a Japanese invoice and an English contract in the same batch both come out right. Nothing is sent anywhere to make that happen. HONEST ABOUT QUALITY Every conversion comes with a per-page report: how many pages were read directly, how many needed OCR, how many failed, and why. Most converters hand you a file and hope you do not check. DocNavy tells you what it actually managed to read. BUILT FOR MARKDOWN PEOPLE Made for Obsidian, Logseq, Bear and plain-text vaults. Preview the result, read the raw Markdown side by side, then save the .md file wherever you keep your notes. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY DocNavy makes no network requests at all. You do not have to take our word for it: turn on Settings › Privacy & Security › App Privacy Report, use the app for a few days, and the domain list for DocNavy will stay empty. The App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected because that is literally what happens. FREE AND PRO The free tier is the whole app: all 14 formats, on-device OCR, whole-folder conversion, zip export and the full diagnostics report. Two limits apply — 5 documents a day and 50 pages per file. Pro removes both and changes nothing else: no extra features, no watermark, no upsell. Take it monthly at $2.99 with a 3-day free trial, or pay $29.99 once and keep it. Either way it is a Universal Purchase, so buying on iPhone unlocks iPad and Mac too.
