About

.html

Features
Read full description

.html is an HTML document viewer. It is not an editor: no code writing, no console, no syntax highlighting. It stores the HTML files you already have, keeps them organized, and opens them when you need them. AI generates more HTML files than ever: reports, calculators, dashboards, interactive summaries. They come out of a chat, get opened once in a browser, and disappear among tabs and downloads. .html is the tool for handling them. WHAT IT DOES • Saves every HTML inside the app — its own copy, which opens offline. • Shows it full screen, with no address bar and no tabs. • Runs the document as it is: its scripts, styles and buttons all work. • Organizes files into folders, with pinned documents on top and sorting by date, name, or your own order by dragging. • Groups them by date automatically: today, yesterday, last 7 days, last 30 days. • Searches by title. MEMORY A document opened in Safari starts from scratch every time. Not here: whatever the document saves stays saved. Tick a checkbox in a list, fill in a form, switch a tab in a dashboard — close the app, come back days later, and it is exactly as you left it. Each document keeps its own state, and none can read another's. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics. The app never connects to a server: your documents never leave your iPhone. ADDING DOCUMENTS Through the + button, which opens the Files app and shows only HTML files. Also via «Open with» from Files or Safari.

Verdict

The call
