Filepad Markdown vs Goodline

Filepad opens the Markdown you already have — in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or on this iPhone — and leaves it exactly where it is. Nothing is copied into the app. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. FINDS WHAT IS QUIETLY WRONG HTML tells you when you break it. Markdown does not — it just renders differently, and you never notice. Filepad reads your document the way the renderer does and points at the lines that will not come out the way you meant: a heading with no space after the #, a table row with the wrong number of cells, an unclosed link, a footnote with no definition. One tap fixes what can be fixed by adding text. Nothing is ever deleted to "fix" something. READS PROPERLY Headings, tables, task lists, quotes, code blocks, footnotes, front matter, and [[wiki links]] between documents in the same folder. Jump by heading with the outline, or with the four navigation buttons that sit under your thumb. FINDS THINGS Search inside a document with every hit highlighted, or search a whole folder and see which files hold what you are looking for. Sort by name or by when you last changed something. EDITS AND SAVES CAREFULLY Edit the source with a toolbar for the marks you forget, and a line that tells you what the cursor is sitting on. Saving is atomic, and the previous version is kept beside the file so an edit can be undone. If the file changed outside the app while you were editing, Filepad does not overwrite it — it saves your version alongside and asks you. ALSO OPENS PDF, HTML AND TEXT PDFs and web documents are view-only. HTML is drawn with network access blocked at two independent layers, and when a document tries to reach the internet for an image or a script, Filepad says so on screen instead of quietly fetching it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sync service of ours. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The app makes no network requests at all. Your folders, your files, your device. Free, and staying free.

Goodline gives your writing room to breathe. Open a Markdown document and focus on the words, with formatting tools, an outline, and a clear view of your work. Write in plain-text Markdown files you can keep in Files or iCloud Drive. Work with tables and images, find your way through long drafts, and export your writing. Your documents stay yours. Turn Markdown into slides with Marp editing and a live preview. Add Mermaid diagrams in fenced code blocks, view speaker notes, and prepare local slide images and presentation packages. Your original Markdown stays editable. Use Listen to hear a document or selected passage. Choose an installed Apple system voice, preview it, adjust the speed, and pause, resume or stop. Goodline prefers a matching-language enhanced or premium voice when one is installed. Listen uses no paid speech API; voice quality depends on your installed voices. Try writing features free for 14 days by confirming the free in-app purchase. A separate one-time unlock keeps editing available afterward. There is no subscription or automatic charge. Reading, copying and exporting existing documents remain available without the unlock. Some features depend on system version, device capabilities, Apple Intelligence availability and iCloud settings.
