Modrift is a lightweight client for quickly opening, reading, and lightly editing files stored in the cloud — right from your iPhone. Not a heavy notes app: just open, read, and tweak, as fast as possible. Key features - Open Markdown files (.md / .txt / .markdown) with clean formatted rendering - Launch straight from Files or any app via "Open in Modrift" - Keep your own working home (iCloud › Modrift): list, create and organise files there - Switch between Home (by place) and Recent (by time) - Toggle between edit and preview with one tap - A formatting toolbar above the keyboard in edit mode — headings, lists, checkboxes, bold and more, one tap each - Automatic saving (no manual save button) - Full-text search, and sorting by date modified or name - Turn to landscape for longer lines — easier on long paragraphs and tables - Japanese / English interface Beyond Markdown - View images (PNG / JPEG / GIF / HEIC / WebP) with pinch to zoom — free - View PDFs with paging and zoom — Modrift Pro (one-time purchase) - View Word documents (.docx) formatted, with headings, lists and tables — Modrift Pro - View Excel workbooks (.xlsx) as tables, with sheet switching — Modrift Pro Markdown, text and images stay free. Only PDF, Word and Excel viewing is part of Modrift Pro — a single one-time purchase, no subscription. These formats are view-only; they cannot be edited. About your home and editing - Files in your home (iCloud › Modrift) are editable in place, and edits sync to iCloud - Files outside your home (Dropbox / Google Drive, or iCloud Drive outside the Modrift folder) are view-only. To edit one, use "Copy to Home" and edit the copy (the original is not written back) - You can choose whether your home lives in iCloud or on this iPhone, in Settings Relationship to the Files app Modrift complements the Files app rather than replacing it. Leave general folder management to Files; Modrift focuses on formatted Markdown viewing, light editing, and tidying its own home folder. The name combines Mo (Mobile / Motion) + drift — the idea of thoughts and files flowing freely on mobile.

Wiki LLM is a home for your knowledge on iPhone and iPad. Keep each subject as a topic, split it into subtopics, and read it as clean, linked pages. Your wiki is plain files in a folder you control: topics are folders and pages are self-contained HTML. Nothing is locked into a proprietary format, and you can open the same pages in any browser. WHY "LLM" Large language models are good at writing and maintaining well-linked pages. Use an AI agent on your computer to build a wiki, then read and organise it here. The iPhone and iPad app does not include an AI model and does not upload your pages. KEY FEATURES • Topics and subtopics: organise everything as folders, with numbered subtopics that keep their order. • Rich pages: read self-contained HTML pages with diagrams, callouts and interactive questions, all offline. • Linked knowledge: follow standard links and [[wikilinks]] between pages. • Tags: tag pages and find related ones across topics. • Markdown files: open and edit .md notes with live preview. • Open any folder: point the app at a folder from Files, or use the built-in library. • Light and dark appearance, which your pages follow. • No account needed: a short welcome topic is ready the first time you open the app. YOUR DATA No sign-in, no tracking. Your pages stay in the folder you choose.
