BetterText

A fast, no-nonsense text editor. Open any plain-text file from iCloud Drive, Dropbox or your device, edit it in place, and it's saved exactly as it was.

BetterText is a clean, fast plain-text editor for iPhone and iPad.

Open any text file — .txt, .md, .json, .csv, source code and more — from iCloud Drive, Dropbox, On My iPhone, or any location in the Files app, and edit it right where it lives. Changes save automatically.

RESPECTS YOUR FILES BetterText detects each file's text encoding (UTF-8, UTF-16, Windows-1252, Latin-1) and line endings (LF, CRLF, CR) and writes the file back exactly the same way. No surprise conversions, no corrupted config files.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no tracking, no ads. Your files never leave your control.
