Convert Apple plist to Markdown.
Drop a macOS or iOS property list and read its settings as a plain Markdown list. It runs entirely in your browser, so your file never leaves your device.
Drag & drop your files

Optimize for AI & RAG
Extra cleanup for LLM ingestion: strip HTML, fix smart quotes, tidy Unicode and spacing.
Add YAML front matter
Prepend a metadata block (title, source, date, word & token counts) for knowledge bases and RAG.
Add table of contents
Build a linked index from the headings. Handy for long documents.
Export RAG chunks (.json)
Split the result into retrieval-ready chunks. Download per file from the result panel.
Most converters quietly upload your documents to a server. This one physically can't.
Built for apps,
not for reading.
A plist wraps each setting in <key> and value tags for macOS and iOS to load. Skim one by eye and the angle brackets get in the way. Converting lays the top-level settings out as a simple Markdown list.
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>MyApp</string>
<key>LSMinimumSystemVersion</key>
<string>12.0</string>
<key>UIRequiresFullScreen</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
# Property List
- **CFBundleName:** MyApp
- **LSMinimumSystemVersion:** 12.0
- **UIRequiresFullScreen:** true
Everything you
actually need.
XML property lists in, a clean key/value list out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
Your .plist is read and parsed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.
# Heading
- point one
3 chunks
AI & RAG ready
Optional cleanup, YAML front matter, a table of contents and RAG chunk export.
Works offline
Once the page has loaded you can switch off your connection and it keeps converting.
# Property List
- CFBundleName: MyApp
- LSMinimumSystemVersion: 12.0
Keys become bullets
Each top-level key and its value become one bullet, so the whole dictionary reads in order.
Unicode safe
Accents, symbols and non-Latin scripts come through intact as UTF-8.
Free, and unlimited
No sign-up, no quotas, no watermarks. Convert one file or a thousand; it all runs the same way, on your own device.
What survives
the trip.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for plist, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
Kept
3- Top-level dictionary keys and values
- Booleans shown inline (true/false)
- Flat arrays shown inline (comma-separated)
Dropped
2- Nested dictionaries (shown as a placeholder)
- Binary plists (only XML plists are handled)
plist questions,
answered.
Everything worth knowing before you drop in a property list.
