Vays - Markdown reader
Markdown reader & editor
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your Mac can now send documents straight to this phone. Reports your AI writes are waiting before you head out — plus dark mode, on your terms.
Your AI writes Markdown all day. Now you can read it anywhere.
VAYS MD is a native iPhone and iPad reader and editor for .md files — READMEs, specs, meeting notes, transcripts. Open a file and read it like a document, with real typography, not source code. No cloud in the middle. Nothing leaves your device.
READ
• GitHub Flavored Markdown: tables, task lists, strikethrough
• Callout cards — GitHub [!NOTE] / [!TIP] / [!WARNING] and Obsidian styles
• Display math typeset natively — no web view
• shields.io badges drawn natively, front-matter shown as a tidy card
• Footnotes become superscripts with gathered definitions
• Mermaid blocks appear as clean code cards (full diagram rendering is on the roadmap)
• Dark mode tuned for night reading
WRITE
• Source editor with Markdown highlighting
• Autosave straight back to the file — no export dance
• Works with the Files app: iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, and any provider
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No account. No analytics. No network requests. Your documents stay in your storage, exactly where they were.
BETTER TOGETHER WITH THE MAC APP
VAYS MD Reader for Mac adds a folder library, Mermaid diagrams rendered offline, a visual diagram creator, QuickLook, PDF export and Claude Code integration. Same design, same privacy.
PART OF THE VAYS FAMILY

Continue reading from your Mac — and make the app look the way you want.
FROM MAC
• Documents sent from VAYS MD Reader for Mac appear in a new From Mac list on the home screen — synced through your private iCloud Drive, nothing passes through our servers
• Opens at the exact heading you were reading on the Mac
• Files written by AI agents can arrive automatically: the report is on your phone before you leave the house
• Handoff support: the reader icon appears on your iPhone while you read on the Mac — tap to continue in place
YOUR PHONE, YOUR RULES
• New Settings screen: turn the From Mac section off entirely, or clear the phone-side copies with one tap
• Appearance: System, Light, or Dark — the reader no longer just follows iOS
• Everything remains opt-in; with sync off the app behaves exactly as before
Requires VAYS MD Reader for Mac (sold separately on the Mac App Store) with Continue on iPhone enabled — the link is in Settings. Reading local files stays free, offline, and private: no accounts, no analytics.
