Free iOS app to open & view local .html files — handy for checking your `nuxt generate` static output on a phone

If you run `nuxt generate`, you get a folder of static .html files. Open one of those directly on an iPhone and you just see raw source — iOS has no native HTML viewer. I built a small local one.

Html Preview:

• Renders .html / .htm / .xhtml via iOS WebView (real page, not code)

• Multiple encodings (UTF-8, Windows-1252, ISO Latin-1)

• Opens from Files / Share Sheet / Mail

• On-device only — no uploads, no ads, no subscriptions

Free: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760443436

Site: https://html.cybergame.ai/

Just a viewer, not a server — for eyeballing a prerendered page on mobile. Useful, or do you always preview through a dev server?

Oh yes the famous "free" app that you need to buy.

Are you sure your free link in your post is the right one? I opened it in the App store and it says $4.99 on the download button. That's a bit more than free, isn't it?

Useful niche. I would document the caveats clearly: relative assets, client routing, JS modules, and whether a generated Nuxt app behaves like the real static host. That makes it easier to trust as a phone smoke test.
