"This app is now my default solution for quickly creating .md files to share with other people." - Federico Viticci, MacStories
----
Pretext is designed to work seamlessly with iCloud Drive and other file providers. This means you can open files directly from your Files app, and any changes are saved right back, available to use on other devices and in other applications. No clunky import and export steps just to make an edit – instead, you keep full control of your files.
Pretext works great on all your iOS devices. Thanks to comprehensive keyboard shortcuts, Pretext works especially well with iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard.

What’s New
Version 1.1.0
Thanks for using Pretext! This update adds support for system Dark Mode* and Multi-Window (on iPadOS).
If you encounter any problems, please get in touch at pretext@blork.co.uk, tweet @pretext_app, or post at /r/pretextapp.
*Pretext's theme now follows the system setting for Dark Mode. The in-app purchase now unlocks fixed themes, if you always want light or dark enabled regardless of the system theme.
Ratings and Reviews
Almost perfect but
missing X callback url support
Neat and simple text editor
Minimalist text editor without any bells and whistles, but has the most important feature - access to cloud storage through Files app. For a small price one can unlock the dark theme.
Feature request: The usable screen width is not customisable, so precious screen space is wasted in landscape mode. In a 11 inch iPad Pro and char size 18, a single line can hold only 54 characters, wasting about half the screen space. Would be great if this can be adjusted (increased) through the app’s settings.
Ideal for distraction free composing of text, including Markdown if one doesn’t need any of the jazzy features available with more prominent text editors.
