Vays - Markdown reader

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.
