Review, approve and merge from your phone — on gitlab.com or your company's self-hosted GitLab. GLab is a fast, native iPhone client for developers who ship on the go. You assemble the Home screen yourself, so it shows only the work waiting on you. Works with gitlab.com and any self-hosted GitLab (CE or EE, 14.x+). Connect multiple instances and switch in one tap. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — A Home screen you assemble • Up to eight modules: review requests, your MRs, issues, todos, failed, active and recent pipelines, recent projects • Every section renders as a list or a carousel; content, order and density are yours to set • Developer, Reviewer and Lead / DevOps presets rebuild Home in one tap • A status line: signals awaiting you, offline and unsent state • Swipe actions right in the lists: approve, merge, close an issue, retry or cancel a pipeline, snooze for a day Merge Requests • Full diff viewer with syntax highlighting and word-level changes • Comment on lines; threaded discussions — reply, resolve, edit • Apply suggestions from a review straight into the code • Create MRs; edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestone • Approve, unapprove, merge, rebase, close, reopen Issues • Create, comment, close, reopen, lock • Edit title, description, labels, assignees, milestones, due dates • Emoji reactions, subscribe, search across all projects CI/CD Pipelines • Active builds across all your projects right on the Home screen • Live status with stages, jobs and duration in the list • Run a pipeline on any branch; retry, cancel, play manual jobs • Raw build logs refreshing live; environments, deployments and runners Repository • Browse the file tree, view blobs with highlighting, line history (blame) • Create/delete files; branches and tags, compare diffs, commit history • Wiki, Snippets and Releases — browse and edit; README rendering Todos, groups and Ops • Unified todo inbox by project and action; mark-all-done and swipe actions • Activity feed, GitLab status, group list drilling into projects • CI/CD variables, schedules, runners, environments, registry (Maintainer+) • Project members — add, change access level, remove — FAST AND OFFLINE — Merge requests and issues are ready on Home from cache, even offline. Pipelines and job logs update live, then pause in the background to save battery. — MULTI-INSTANCE BY DESIGN — Every project, MR, issue and pipeline is scoped to its GitLab instance — gitlab.com never mixes with self-hosted, even with matching issue numbers.

FIXED • Sign-in and list loading on iOS 18: the app failed to parse the dates GitLab sends, so merge requests, issues and pipelines would not open. Sorry for the broken 1.2.0 — this release fixes it • Viewing repository files whose path contains subdirectories • Background list refresh stability IMPROVED • Clearer network errors: the app is more specific about what is unavailable and what to do next • You can now rate GLab straight from Settings Tell us what to improve — support is available from the app's Settings. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-19 GLab 1.2.0 — a Home screen you assemble yourself, and GitLab on iPhone from iOS 18.

Plus a dedicated queue screen with a Snoozed section • Swipe actions right in the lists: approve and merge an MR, close an issue, retry or cancel a pipeline, snooze anything for a day • The app now runs on iPhone with iOS 18 and later — it used to require iOS 26 IMPROVED • Project rows rebuilt: two lines instead of five, with the latest default-branch pipeline status, MR and issue counts, and last activity right in the list • The project screen is now sectioned — overview shortcuts, work, code, CI/CD — and refreshes signals in place instead of reloading everything • Recent and starred projects live in one place; groups and projects share one visual style • Denser repository browser, reworked search and navigation • Irreversible todo actions are now named for what they do, so nothing gets marked done by accident • Compact account settings; load failures offer retry and mark stale data Thanks for all the feedback — keep it coming at emvakar@gmail.com. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-07 GLab 1.1.0 goes deeper offline — and onto your Home Screen, Lock Screen and Apple Watch.
