asciitor

Edit and save plain-text documents on Android, with previews for AsciiDoc, Markdown, HTML, and SVG.

asciitor is an Android app for working with portable plain-text documents wherever you have your phone or tablet.

Current functionality

  • Create new AsciiDoc documents or open human-readable text files from device storage.

  • Edit source text. Preview is available for AsciiDoc, Markdown, HTML, and SVG.

  • Save changes or save a document as a new file.

  • Reopen recently used documents.

  • Choose the font, text size, alignment, and line spacing used in the document preview.

  • Work without an account, backend service, or internet permission.

Supported documents

asciitor accepts text/* documents plus common structured-text and SVG MIME types through Android’s system file picker. It reads UTF-8, UTF-16, and ASCII-compatible text, and rejects binary-looking content.

  • Rendered preview: AsciiDoc (.adoc, .asciidoc), Markdown (.md, .markdown), HTML (.html, .htm), and SVG (.svg).

  • Edit and save only: plain text, JSON, CSV, XML, YAML, TOML, configuration, and source-code files.

  • Export and printing remain AsciiDoc-only.

Android providers ultimately decide which entries their picker shows for broad MIME requests. See Known UX Issues for a platform limitation that can make other file types visible.
