HKit — HTML Viewer & Editor
For questions, bug reports or feature requests, email us at inferno.appz@gmail.com.
When reporting a problem, it helps enormously if you include:
Your device, for example iPhone 15 Pro, and your iOS version
The HKit version, shown at the bottom of Settings
What you did, what you expected, and what happened instead
We aim to reply within 24–48 hours.
Open the Files tab and tap +. Give it a name, choose a type (HTML, CSS, JS, Markdown, JSON or XHTML), and optionally start from a template such as a landing page, email, portfolio, CSS grid or flexbox playground. Tap Create, and it opens in the Editor.
Files tab › + › Import. You can bring in files from the Files app, from iCloud Drive (Pro), from a ZIP archive, by pasting a URL, or by pasting code directly. Files up to 10 MB are supported, in .html, .htm, .xhtml, .css, .js, .json, .md and .zip formats.
The usual reasons are: the file is larger than the 10 MB limit, the extension is not one of the supported types above, the ZIP is password-protected or corrupted, or iCloud Drive is not switched on. For the last one, open iOS Settings › your name › iCloud and turn on iCloud Drive.
Free gives you the full editor with syntax highlighting, line numbers, auto-indent, auto-closing tags, find and replace, the keyboard toolbar, live preview, three editor themes, and up to three projects. HKit Pro adds split-screen live preview with a draggable divider, the full theme library plus the minimap, inspecting any website’s source and CSS, code formatting and minifying, snippets, the JavaScript console, iCloud Drive import, and unlimited projects.
Split-screen is a Pro feature. In the Editor, tap the split icon to open the editor and live preview together, drag the divider to resize, and switch between a vertical and a horizontal split.
Open the Preview tab, choose Inspect URL, and enter any public web address. HKit fetches that page over HTTPS, prettifies its HTML and stylesheets, and shows them as readable, syntax-highlighted files you can browse and save as a project. The request goes straight from your device to that site — it never passes through our servers, and we do not log the addresses you inspect. Inspection is a Pro feature.
Check your internet connection and that the address is correct and reachable in Safari. Some sites block automated requests, require a login, or build their content with JavaScript after the page loads — in those cases the source HKit receives may be incomplete or unavailable. HKit cannot inspect pages behind a login.
Open the paywall and tap Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed in to the same Apple Account that made the purchase. If it still does not unlock, email us with the date of purchase and we will help.
Everything you create or import lives on your device, inside HKit’s private storage. We never upload or read it. To delete a single file or project, swipe its row in the Files tab and choose Delete. To remove everything, delete the app — this permanently erases all projects, so export anything you want to keep first.
Open a file or project and use the share action to send it to the Files app, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or any other app. Projects can be exported as a ZIP. Because HKit keeps your work on-device only, exporting is the only way to back it up — please do it regularly for anything important.
No. HKit does not request access to your camera, microphone, photos, contacts or location. The only files it ever sees are the ones you explicitly pick in the import screen.
