DocNavy converts common office files and PDFs into Markdown for note systems and plain-text libraries. It supports 14 formats across PDF, Word, spreadsheets, presentations, EPUB, and related open formats. Text-based pages are parsed directly, while scanned pages can use on-device OCR with automatic language detection. The app preserves structures such as tables, headings, lists, footnotes, and formulas, and reports which pages were read, OCR-processed, or unsuccessful. Users can preview the result, convert whole folders, and export Markdown and supporting files as a ZIP. The developer says conversions make no network requests and documents stay on the device. The free tier includes every conversion feature but limits use to five documents a day and 50 pages per file. Pro removes both limits: the US App Store lists $2.99 monthly with a three-day trial or a $29.99 one-time purchase. It supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
