Afterlid vs Read Markdown

AfterLid is the iPhone companion for long-running work on your Mac. Check that your computer is online, healthy, and still working—without opening the lid or being in the same room. SEE YOUR MAC FROM ANYWHERE • View live Sleepy, Awake, and Always On status • Check online state, lid state, battery, power source, thermal pressure, and safety limits • Follow high-level AI agent activity and see when work needs your attention • Track usage windows from supported AI provider connections • Link your Macs to one account and switch between them • Use Home Screen widgets for quick status and mode access CONTROL POWER MODES Sleepy returns your Mac to its normal power behavior. Awake prevents idle sleep while the lid is open. Always On keeps eligible work available with the lid closed, within strict safety limits. Your Mac always has the final say. Battery, thermal, heartbeat, and session-duration safeguards can stop an Always On session automatically. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a character whose animation follows your Mac’s current mode. Browse approved characters in the marketplace, switch your active character across linked devices, or use Pro to create and import a validated character pack. FREE AND PRO Free includes live read-only Mac status, one supported usage connection, and access to saved characters. AfterLid Pro adds remote mode control, agent activity, all supported usage connections, and character creation and import. Eligible accounts can try full access for seven days. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your AI prompts, commands, project paths, work files, and provider credentials stay on your Mac. AfterLid only relays the sanitized status needed to show health, activity, usage, and requested controls. REQUIREMENTS Install AfterLid on your Mac, sign in with the same account on both devices, and approve the Mac link once. Remote features require an internet connection.

Read Markdown (R.md) is the fast, lightweight way to read and edit Markdown on iPhone and iPad. Open a .md file and it appears instantly, rendered exactly like GitHub, in a clean, distraction free layout. Need to change something? Tap the pencil and edit, with a formatting bar right above the keyboard. Truly native, no accounts, no setup, no internet. WHY READ MARKDOWN • Fast: opens in a blink and scrolls smoothly, even for big documents. • Lightweight: a tiny native app that is easy on memory and battery. • Dead simple: just open a file and read. Nothing to configure. READING • Renders like GitHub, including tables, task lists and blockquotes. • Syntax highlighting for code blocks, with a copy button on each one. • Live Mermaid diagrams: flowcharts and sequence diagrams render in the page. • Dark mode that follows your system appearance. • Live outline: tap a heading to jump, or filter to find one. On iPad it stays open in a sidebar. • Images next to your document and links to other .md files just work. • Find in page, adjustable text size, and a list of recent files. • Export a clean, paginated A4 PDF and share it anywhere. EDITING • Reading stays reading: the app only switches to editing when you tap the pencil. • On iPad, edit side by side with a live preview that updates as you type. • Formatting bar for headings, bold, italic, code, links, lists, checklists and tables, plus undo and redo. • Smart typing: Return continues lists, code fences close themselves, and pasting a URL over selected text makes a link. • Tick a checkbox right in the rendered page and the change is saved to your file. • Light syntax colors in the editor, a clear unsaved indicator, and a prompt before you close. • Plays well with other apps: changes made elsewhere are detected, and you choose to reload or keep yours. • Hardware keyboard shortcuts on iPad: Cmd+B, Cmd+I, Cmd+K and Cmd+S. WORKS WITH YOUR FILES Open documents from the Files app, iCloud Drive or any other app with Open In. Files are edited in place, so nothing is copied or uploaded. Works fully offline. No account, no tracking, and your files never leave your device. Perfect for developers, writers and anyone who reads README files, design docs and notes.
