Built to be trusted
Private by design. Yours forever.
TextQuay is deliberately boring about your data: it doesn’t want it, doesn’t collect it, and doesn’t phone home.
On-device processing
Files are converted locally using Apple’s on-device tools. Nothing you convert is uploaded to us — ever.
No ads, no analytics
No tracking SDKs, no adverts, no attribution. There’s no server that knows who you are or what you convert.
No login required
Open TextQuay and start converting. There’s no account to create and nothing tied to your identity.
Originals kept safe
Your original and its converted Markdown are saved together in TextQuay’s local library.

Questions
Good to know
Is TextQuay a subscription?
No. TextQuay is free for 14 days, then a single one-off £2.99 lifetime unlock — a non-consumable purchase through Apple. It never renews and never charges you again.
Which files can it convert?
PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TSV, images (with OCR), web pages and website URLs, HTML, rich text, JSON, JSONL, and plain text or code files like Swift, Python and JavaScript — 20+ formats, all into clean Markdown.
Does anything I convert leave my device?
No. Conversion happens on-device, including image OCR using Apple’s on-device tools. TextQuay saves the original and Markdown in its local library. TextQuay has no server that receives your files.
Does it work on Mac as well as iPhone and iPad?
Yes. TextQuay is a native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. A single £2.99 purchase covers all your Apple devices.
Do I need an account?
No login, no sign-up, no account. Open the app and start converting.
Why Markdown for AI tools?
Markdown keeps the structure — headings, lists, tables — while dropping the formatting bloat that eats into your context window. That means cleaner input and more room in every prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or your own workflow.
