A snippet worth sharing
On iPhone, Copy as Image turns your code preview into an image with a choice of backgrounds. Check it for private content before sharing.
Local rendering. Clear boundaries.
Your files do not need
a LightPath account.
Hitspace renders with bundled resources and does not send your previewed files to LightPath. Recent-file records and preferences stay in app storage, subject to platform backups.
On Apple platforms, HTML or Markdown can contain active scripts or remote resources that contact third parties. Only preview files you trust; disconnect from the network first if you need to prevent remote access. Sharing sends content to the destination you choose.
Read the privacy and preview-safety detailsBefore you hit Space
A few quick answers.
Is Hitspace a code editor?
Hitspace is built for reading and previewing developer files. Keep your editor for changing code; use Hitspace when you want a quick look at what is inside.
Does the Space shortcut work on iPhone?
The Finder Space shortcut is for Mac. On iPhone, open a file inside Hitspace, choose Hitspace from Files or a share sheet, or use the explicit paste action.
Does Hitspace require a subscription?
No. It is a one-time App Store purchase. The price and availability for your region and device are shown in the store.
Can I preview any HTML or Markdown safely?
Only preview files you trust. Active content in an Apple web preview can contact outside services and may read or transmit displayed content. The privacy policy explains these limits.
Is there an Android download?
Android is currently prerelease. There is no public Android download linked here; the support page includes information for authorized testers.
