Convert Apple strings to Markdown.
Drop a .strings file and read every key and value as a tidy Markdown table. 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 the app,
not for reading.
An Apple .strings file is a long list of quoted key equals value pairs meant for iOS and macOS. Converting lines them up as a readable Markdown table you can review at a glance.
/* Greeting shown on launch */
"welcome_title" = "Welcome";
"cancel_button" = "Cancel";
# Localized strings (.strings)
- **Entries:** 2
| Key | Value |
| --- | --- |
| welcome_title | Welcome |
| cancel_button | Cancel |
Every pair,
in one place.
Apple .strings tables in, a clean Markdown table out, with no server and no account anywhere.
It never leaves your browser
Your .strings is read and parsed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server, ever.
# Heading

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.
Keys become a table
Each key and its value land in one row, so every translation is easy to scan.
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.
Keys and values
come through.
Honest about what comes through, and what doesn't. These are the same notes the Formats list shows for Apple .strings, so the page never drifts from what the converter really does.
