Turn PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and 10 more formats into clean Markdown — entirely on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Your documents never leave the device. No server, no account, no upload. WHAT IT CONVERTS • PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, ODT, EPUB • XLS, XLSX, XLSB, ODS, CSV • PPT, PPTX, ODP WHAT SURVIVES THE CONVERSION Tables, merged cells, footnotes, headings, bold and italic, nested lists, math formulas as LaTeX, embedded images written out next to the Markdown, and — when you convert a whole folder — the folder structure itself. SCANNED PAGES, HANDLED PROPERLY Pages with no text layer go through on-device OCR. The language is detected automatically, so a Japanese invoice and an English contract in the same batch both come out right. Nothing is sent anywhere to make that happen. HONEST ABOUT QUALITY Every conversion comes with a per-page report: how many pages were read directly, how many needed OCR, how many failed, and why. Most converters hand you a file and hope you do not check. DocNavy tells you what it actually managed to read. BUILT FOR MARKDOWN PEOPLE Made for Obsidian, Logseq, Bear and plain-text vaults. Preview the result, read the raw Markdown side by side, then save the .md file wherever you keep your notes. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY DocNavy makes no network requests at all. You do not have to take our word for it: turn on Settings › Privacy & Security › App Privacy Report, use the app for a few days, and the domain list for DocNavy will stay empty. The App Store privacy label says Data Not Collected because that is literally what happens. FREE AND PRO The free tier is the whole app: all 14 formats, on-device OCR, whole-folder conversion, zip export and the full diagnostics report — every page of every file, however long. One limit applies: 5 documents a day. Pro removes it and changes nothing else: no extra features, no watermark, no upsell. Take it monthly at $2.99 with a 3-day free trial, or pay $29.99 once and keep it. Either way it is a Universal Purchase, so buying on iPhone unlocks iPad and Mac too.
