Moye is a fast, local-first Markdown reader. It opens the .md files that coding agents, note apps and chat tools hand you — from your file manager, from "Open with", or from the share sheet — and renders them properly: headings, tables, code with syntax highlighting, math, Mermaid diagrams, GitHub-style callouts, footnotes, task lists and front matter. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE Moye has no network code. Not "we promise not to upload" — there is no code that could. No account, no sign-in, no cloud sync, no analytics, no ads, no telemetry. Your documents stay in the folder you opened them from. The app's privacy declaration is short because there is nothing to declare. BUILT FOR BIG DOCUMENTS Long documents stay smooth. Only the part you are looking at is rendered, so a two-thousand-line file opens as quickly as a short one. Your reading position is remembered per file, down to the line. READ AND EDIT Switch to the editor to fix a typo or add a note, and save back to the same file. The preview follows as you scroll. A contents list, in-document search, and find-and-step-through results are all there. MAKE IT YOURS Dark mode, adjustable type size, and a choice of reading width. Five languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, Deutsch. SHARE IT ON Send a document straight to Messages, Mail, WeChat or anywhere else through the system share sheet. WHAT IT IS NOT It is not a cloud service and it does not sync. It is not a note database — your files stay files, in your folders, readable by anything else. There is no subscription.

CLOCK FACES WITH CHARACTER Explore classic flip, walnut, minimal digital, retro LCD, LED dot-matrix and analog styles. Discover paper scenes with little companions, a bookshop and a tailor's workshop. In the app, select paper faces play brief animations when the minute or hour changes. MAKE IT YOUR DESK CLOCK Choose a face and color palette, show the date and select a 12- or 24-hour format. Portrait and landscape layouts, day and night modes, and desk mode let you make the display your own. YOUR PHOTOS, WITH THE TIME Display the time and date over your favorite photos and play them in order or shuffle them. Bring trips, family, pets and everyday moments to your desk. Removing a photo from FlipMate deletes only its imported copy, leaving the original in your photo library untouched.

Enable notifications to receive a completion reminder. WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN Choose small, medium or large clock widgets and configure their colors, date and time format separately. Some styles include a monthly calendar, weekly progress or times in multiple cities. Widget updates are scheduled by the system; in-app companion animations do not play in widgets.
