01READER
The clean reader.
Any .html file, typeset for the phone. JavaScript off by default.
EDITION 01 · iOS · 2026
Your AI docs,
finally readable.
An iOS reader for the .html files in your GitHub repos. Open a doc once. It stays on your device — offline, wherever you read.
§ 01 / THE PROBLEM
Your repo has a docs/ folder.
Your phone doesn't know what to do with it.
GitHub Mobile renders .html as raw source. Safari shows GitHub's chrome, not the doc. AI agents write docs faster than you read them. None of it reaches your phone.

“HTML is the new markdown. I've stopped writing markdown files for almost everything and switched to using Claude Code to generate HTML for me. This is why.”

§ 02 / WHAT IT DOES
Five things, well.
02BROWSE
Every repo, one reader.
Connect GitHub, pick your repos, read every .html inside.
03NOTES
Notes on every page.
Leave a note on any document. The Notes tab gathers them all.
04CACHE
Pick up where you left off.
Once opened, cached on your device. No signal required.
05PRIVACY

§ 03 / HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. About thirty seconds.
- 01STEP ONE
Sign in with GitHub.
GitHub's official App install flow. You pick the repos. One permission: "Read access to code". No write access, no org data, no actions.
- 02STEP TWO
Owner. Repo. File.
Your account or any org you belong to. Drill into folders. Cherry-pick files or take everything.
- 03STEP THREE
Read. Take notes. Star favorites.
Star the docs you come back to. Recents catches the rest.
§ 04 / MADE FOR
The people who actually read documentation.
- № 01Developers whose agents write the docs — Claude Code, Cursor, Aider.
- № 02Solo builders with private-repo knowledge bases.
- № 03Engineers reading API references and wikis from the couch.
- № 04Anyone who has tried reading raw HTML in GitHub Mobile. Once.

§ 06 / FAQ
Questions people ask before downloading.
Q.01What is gitHtml?
gitHtml is an iOS reader for HTML documentation files in your GitHub repositories. It indexes the .html files you grant it access to, caches them on your device, and renders them in a clean WebKit reader with per-document notes. Free to download on the iOS App Store, with a 7-day free trial. Requires iOS 26.2 or later. Built for developers who use Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, or similar agents that write extensive docs into their repos.
Q.02How is gitHtml different from GitHub's mobile app?
GitHub Mobile focuses on repository collaboration, including issues, pull requests, and code review. gitHtml focuses on reading .html documents from those repositories in a WebKit reader, with per-document notes and cached reading. Hosted websites and source-file views are different from opening the rendered document; linked resources and interactive features may still need a network connection.
Q.03Does gitHtml work offline?
Downloaded HTML documents can be read from the device cache. Linked images, stylesheets, fonts, scripts, and API requests may still depend on the network. Open the documents you need and test them with connectivity disabled before travel. Signing in, syncing, and account or purchase services need a connection.
Q.04Does gitHtml read Markdown?
gitHtml indexes .html files. Convert Markdown to HTML with a separate tool before using it in the reader; changing a filename from .md to .html is not a conversion.
Q.05Does gitHtml collect any data about me?
Yes. Signing in creates a gitHtml account with an internal ID, your GitHub numeric ID and username, and coarse activity dates. Repository contents, notes, favorites, and detailed reading history remain on your device. RevenueCat supports purchases, TelemetryDeck measures product usage, and Tenjin measures install-level advertising attribution. The Privacy page explains the data, retention, and deletion rules.
Q.06What does gitHtml do with my GitHub account?
gitHtml authenticates via GitHub's GitHub App install flow. You explicitly select which repositories gitHtml can see. The permission requested is "Read access to code" — read-only access to repository contents. No write access. No access to your organization data. No ability to take actions on your behalf.

Q.07How do I delete my data?
Settings separates signing out of this device from account and data deletion. Clearing local documents is not the same as deleting the server account. Use account deletion to request removal of identifiable account records, and consult the Privacy page for retention and purchase-record exceptions. You can also revoke the app's authorization in your GitHub account settings.
Q.08Is gitHtml free? What does it cost?
gitHtml is free to download. After onboarding, the app uses in-app purchases: Monthly at $4.99/month, Annual at $29.99/year (includes a 7-day free trial), or Lifetime at $59.99 once. The annual trial is the default; you can cancel any time in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions before the trial ends and you won't be charged. The app will never show ads.
Q.09What devices does gitHtml support?
iPhone and iPad running iOS 26.2 or later. There is no macOS app and no web client.
Q.10Why is the app called "gitHtml" — what does it do exactly?
The name says it: it reads HTML files from Git repositories. Specifically, GitHub repositories you authorize. It exists because AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor are writing a lot of .html documentation into developer repos, and there has been no good way to read that documentation on a phone.
Q.11Does gitHtml work with private GitHub repositories?
Yes. The GitHub App install flow lets you authorize private repositories explicitly. The permission stays "Read access to code" — read-only.
Q.12Is gitHtml open-source?
The iOS app and this website's repository are not currently public open-source projects.
Q.13Who built gitHtml?
WaveTech LLC, an independent studio. Contact: support@wavetechhq.com.
