WildEyes is a new iPhone document viewer app, that makes use of Mobile Safari’s ability to display a good variety of document types. WildEyes is developed by Databinge, who are responsible for the excellent TimeCapsule iPhone backup app – and currently lets you view the following document types:
- doc, docx
- xls, xlsx
- text files
- images
There are a number of solutions out there for viewing documents in this way on the iPhone, but WildEyes has quite a nice UI and feel to it. And if ti’s anything like TimeCapsule, we’ll see frequent updates and additional feature additions. The program uses ~/Sites as is primary directory, but it will also let you view any documents stored under your main user path – either /var/root or /var/mobile depending on which firmware and jailbreak method you’re on.
The other requirements for using the program are that you need to have the BSD Subsystem and Lighttpd installed. BSD Subsystem is found under the System Category in Installer, and Lighttpd is under the Network section.
WildEyes is available now on Installer. You may need to add the Databinge source to Installer to see it, which is:
