What does githtml do?

It connects to your GitHub account using OAuth Device Flow, lets you pick which repositories and which .html files to sync, and renders those files in a paginated, typographically careful reader. Files are cached on-device so the reader works fully offline.

Is githtml a GitHub product?

No. githtml is an independent app made by pranavred. It uses GitHub's public API, but it is not affiliated with GitHub, Inc.

Does githtml require an account?

Only your existing GitHub account. There is no githtml account, no email signup, and no password — the publisher operates no backend that would hold an account.

What does githtml do with my data?

Nothing leaves your device. Your GitHub token lives in the iOS Keychain. Cached HTML files live in the app sandbox. There is no analytics, no telemetry, and no server the publisher operates.

What is githtml?

ithtml is a free iOS app that turns GitHub repositories into a personal, offline reading library for HTML documents — in particular, the HTML artifacts produced by AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and similar systems. It runs on iPhone and iPad on iOS 26.2 or later.

The one-sentence version

Sign in with GitHub, pick the repos, pick the files, read offline. Source code is never read; the publisher runs no servers; nothing about your reading is reported anywhere.

What problem does it solve?

AI tools now routinely produce HTML artifacts — reports, dashboards, mini-apps, long explainers. People want to read those on their phones the way they read magazines: laid out, paginated, quiet. The artifacts already live in GitHub, because GitHub is a free durable place to keep them. iOS already has WebKit. githtml is the bridge between the two, and tries hard to add as little new surface as possible.

How does it work?

You open the app. You authenticate with GitHub using GitHub's OAuth Device Flow — the app shows a short code, you type it into github.com/login/device, you approve the request. The app never sees your GitHub password. You pick which repositories you want to read from, and within each repository you pick which .html files to sync. The reader caches those files locally and presents them in a paginated WKWebView with JavaScript turned off by default. You can read them on the subway.

What does it not do?

It does not push, modify, comment on, or fork your repositories.
It does not open or render source-code files.
It does not run any analytics, telemetry, or third-party tracking.
It does not communicate with any server the publisher operates. There is no publisher-operated server.
It does not store your data anywhere other than your phone.

Who is it for?

Developers, writers, researchers, and analysts who use AI tools to generate HTML artifacts and want a calm place to read them; and people who would rather not have their reading habits or document contents pass through a third-party server.

What does it cost?

Nothing. It is free, with no subscription, no in-app purchase, and no paid tier planned at launch.

Where can I get it?

On the iOS App Store, when it ships. For now, the home page and setup guide have the full overview, and the FAQ answers the questions people most often ask.
