The Gap

iOS deserves a real file manager

Your phone connects to everything — except your servers. The built-in Files app stops at iCloud and basic SMB. No SFTP. No S3. No WebDAV. For anyone who manages files across protocols and providers, that's not enough.

BulkHead was built to close that gap — a single app for every protocol you actually use, designed from day one for the people who need it most.

BulkHead file browser directory listing
File Browser

Browse & manage your files

Favorites, directories, file metadata — all at your fingertips. Browse local files, iCloud folders, and remote servers with list and grid views.

BulkHead code editor with syntax highlighting
Code Editor

Edit code on the go

Syntax highlighting for 50+ languages with 30 color themes. Open, edit, and save files directly on your server — changes auto-save as you type.

BulkHead markdown preview
Markdown Preview

Preview docs instantly

Split-pane live preview for Markdown files. Formatting toolbar for quick access to headers, bold, italic, lists, and code blocks. Export to PDF or HTML with a tap.
