Markleaf is a small Markdown workspace for reading and organizing plain-text documents on a phone. Reading, importing, outlines, search, and appearance settings are available for free. Users can open a file to import a local copy while leaving the original untouched; the app supports UTF-8 files up to 2 MB. Pro unlocks writing and export through a one-time purchase with lifetime access and no automatic renewal. The listing says images, formulas, Mermaid diagrams, and editing an external file in place are not supported in this version. That makes Markleaf better suited to text notes or reading a lightweight document than to a full technical publishing workflow. Confirm that the file size and Markdown features fit your existing documents before moving an archive into the app.
