Open an HTML file and read it. That's all this app does — the simplest HTML viewer. Pick an HTML file from the Files app and it is displayed right away. No ads, no account, no tracking. Leaving out every unnecessary feature is the whole design philosophy of this app. Great for: - Reading HTML reports generated by AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude - Carrying your own HTML files — travel itineraries, timetables, contact sheets - Checking HTML files received via email or cloud storage Open. Read. That's it.
