MD FlowRead Markdown on iPhone and iPad
MD Flow is a native iPhone and iPad app for reading Markdown files. Connect a folder — in iCloud Drive, or anywhere else the Files app can reach — and every document inside renders properly: Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, Obsidian-style callouts and YAML frontmatter, not raw text full of # signs and asterisks.
That's the gap on iOS. The Files app shows Markdown as plain text, and most note apps want to import your files into their own world first. MD Flow simply reads the folders you already have — which, increasingly, means the pile of AI chat exports, generated research and project docs people now keep as .md files. It's free on the App Store for Mac, iPhone and iPad, with a one-time $7.99 Pro unlock (unlimited folders, cross-folder search, PDF export). No subscription, no account.
#Point it at a folder, start reading
Connect a folder in iCloud Drive (or any location the Files app can reach) and MD Flow gives you a native browser with rendered previews:
- Full Markdown rendering: headings, tables, task lists, syntax-highlighted code
- Mermaid diagrams, KaTeX math, callouts, and frontmatter headers
- Table of contents for long documents, search within the folder
- Recent files, so the doc you keep coming back to is one tap away
Nothing is imported or duplicated. Edit files on your Mac, read them on your phone — iCloud keeps the folder in sync, and MD Flow just reads it.
#One purchase, three devices
MD Flow is a universal-purchase app: download it free on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, and the one-time Pro unlock (PDF export, unlimited folders, cross-folder search) applies everywhere. No subscription.
#Works with your existing setup
- Obsidian vault? It's just a folder of Markdown — read it on the go without extra sync setup. See reading an Obsidian vault.
- AI outputs? Save chats, research, and generated docs as
.mdinto iCloud and they become a private, searchable library on every device. - Project docs? READMEs and documentation render the way they do on GitHub — code blocks, tables, diagrams and all.
