md Viewer is a lightweight reader and editor for Markdown and plain-text files. Users open an .md or .txt document from the Files app or a share sheet, then see headings, lists, tables, code, quotes, links, and images in a formatted view. The app can create a new Markdown file from pasted or typed text, edit an existing file in place, find and replace text, and keep several documents open. iPad uses tabs, while iPhone provides an open-documents list. The app works offline, does not require an account, and the developer says it collects no data. It intentionally does not include cloud sync, a separate file browser, autosave, or a second copy of edited files; saving can overwrite the source after confirmation. The US App Store lists md Viewer as free with no in-app purchases. It requires iOS 17 or later and is also listed for iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision.
