Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
HTML Editor
Read full descriptionHide full description
HTML Editor is a local-first iPhone and iPad app for opening standalone HTML files when another browser is not available from the share sheet. Open .html and .htm files from Files, AirDrop, WeChat handoffs, or other local document flows. The app renders the file cleanly in a built-in reader, then lets you switch into Edit mode for lightweight changes such as updating selected text or simple color styling. When you are done, export or share a new edited HTML file without requiring an account, server login, or cloud workspace. It is designed for saved pages, reports, notes, and document handoffs that should stay local on your device.
.html

.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. FREE AND PRO .html is free: open and view any HTML with the full viewer, and save up to 3 documents. With .html Pro, as a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase, you get unlimited documents, versions, folders, search across the text of all your documents, PDF export and merging documents. 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. • With Pro, 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. • Shows each document with a real thumbnail. • Follows your iPhone's light or dark appearance. • Works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. On iPad, the list and the document are side by side. PASTE HTML Did the chat give you code instead of a file? Copy it, tap + and choose "Paste HTML". It's saved as a document instantly, even if it's just a snippet. EXPORT AS PDF (PRO) Share any document as a PDF, exactly as you see it on screen: with anything you checked or filled in, and with its colors. Ready to send, print or save to Files. SEARCH • Searches titles and folders; with Pro, also the text inside every document, ignoring case and accents. • Inside a document, the magnifying glass highlights every match and takes you from one to the next. VERSIONS (PRO) Import a file with the same name again and it isn't duplicated: it's saved as a new version of the same document, which moves to the top. Earlier versions stay there, with their dates, and you can open any of them. 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: pick a file from the Files app or paste the code you've copied. Also via "Open with" from Files, Safari or Mail.
