Are there any #PlainText or #Markdown apps that can list the full names of files, on multiple lines, on a narrow screen? Landscape orientation helps, but it is not the solution I’m looking for.

#Obsidian Is the only one I’ve found so far that can do this.

All I want is to be able to browse the full text of long file names, in a list, in an app that doesn’t take 5 minutes to start up (I’m using iCloud for syncing Obsidian).

@ellane @obsidianmd As a fall back, there’s always the iOS native Files app (though I expect that won’t quite fit the bill for what you’re looking for… lots of extra vertical scrolling…)

@ellane @obsidianmd That’s yet another Obsidian feature that makes it hard to use anything else once you’re used to it. Being able to read the whole file name seems so obviously better that it’s mind-boggling that it isn’t the standard way of doing things in all apps that manage files.

IA Writer seems to show files on iOS as you wish after you navigate to the right folder.
