"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.

Adding Chinese support in preview mode

JustinZ327 on

Taiwan

The Chinese characters appear garbled in preview mode. Please fix the bug by adding Chinese support (both Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese). Thank you 🙏

與File整合好的關係,各種雲端同步軟體也可以通用。加上使用資料夾的方式整理,簡單且好用!值得推薦!

HTML preview did not support Chinese languages

NickBurrows on

Taiwan

The HTML preview was awesome, but the Chinese languages cannot be supported. I hope someday it’ll display the Chinese languages like normal.

Replacement for Ios’ Notes’ weird removal of saving to Cryptomator

Hyperspace Radio on

United States

Came across mention of this app on a site rightfully complaining about how iOS Notes inexplicably removed the basic functionality of saving a file to Cryptomator. This solves that. I can now use my device do things with my writings and files that I want to, and in fact bought an iPad to supposedly be able to do. Even if Apple has decided that I no longer need to do them.

Great app but needs bug fix

Winzlo on

United States

Opening a text file from the Files app opens the file into Pretext fine. However, the only option (Close) on the menu bar does nothing when it should presumably terminate the app. This is a huge workflow impact for me as I modify VPN profiles often which can total over 30 in a given day. Please fix this ASAP! Many thanks!

The Best

mao_edge on

United States

Changed how I keep simple notes between jobs. The file/cloud integration works with all my services so it’s seamless between all major providers through the Files app on iOS. It literally “just works”. Paid the $0.99 just to throw the developers a bone. Keep up the good work.

All this app can do is 'write' plain text & NOTHING else . . .

HoftHome on

United States

(Wish I could give only half a star): Yes, this is the free version, & honestly all I wanted was an app that writes pure text w/ no HTML/other convoluted markup. Yes, it allows BOLD, italics, & other mods, but who really needs that in plain-jane pure text? A nice feature would be the ability to search a fairly large saved file, but, you can NOT do that w/ this app: oh no, that would add waayyy too much convenience! Anyone know of a plain-jane app that writes pure text AND allows the ability to search? TIA!

Ignores icloud sync conflicts

engineer3003 on

United States

Careful, this app does not present the ios conflict resolution screen when there is an icloud sync conflict. To replicate, do the following: Create a file.txt and open on two ios devices. - On ios device 1, turn off wifi. - On both devices write which ios device it is into the text file (for instance ‘device 1’ and ‘device 2’ - go to homescreen on both devices - turn wifi back on on device 1 - open the file on device 2. It now shows the freshly transferred content from device 1, and the content from device 2 is gone! - when you open ia writer, it tells that there is a sync conflict on the file.
