really nice
Well done app, has everything I need.
License issue
I paid for this app but right now it is free and requires a subscription to access features.
Great Mobile Development platform. One of my favorite. I also have an Idea:
Proposal:
Transform Buffer into a full mobile dev environment with minimal integrations
Buffer already solves the hardest part of mobile developer tooling: providing a performant, scriptable environment with reliable text input and persistent context on iOS.
Two lightweight integrations would push it from “mobile productivity” into “mobile coding stack” territory:
1. ISH / local Linux shell integration
Interactive terminal access enables local scripts, package managers, and workflows to run directly on-device. This replaces cloud-dependent workflows and unlocks offline development.
2. GitHub chat / workflow sync
Inline commit messages, branch visibility, and PR discussion make it possible to manage repo work end-to-end without leaving the app.
With these two endpoints, Buffer becomes effectively a mobile VS Code equivalent, without building a full IDE. You’d define a new category: “mobile-first dev ops interface” instead of mobile markdown.
If this direction interests you, I’d be glad to outline a minimal technical spec and UX flow that keeps the implementation constrained.

This app is crashing a LOT
2025-10-19 I have been using this app for years and it has been crashing a LOT over the past few months on my M1 iPad Pro. IF the app has focus it works. If it loses focus (CMD+TAB to another app or other switch) it will randomly crash.
Unsure if the developer is still supporting this but it would be nice to get an update to fix this problem.

Keeps Crashing
I want to like this, but when I switch to a different window it freezes, becomes unresponsive, and eventually crashes. It makes it really hard to work with, I’m not sure if this has to do with the new window app functionality in iPad OS, but it’s the only app I’ve noticed that has problems with it.
