What's New in Portable Dev

3.5.3

July 12, 2026

Added • Source Control on the repo page: browse the commit history graph, review your changes with full diffs, then stage, discard, commit, push, and pull — all from your phone. • Worktree support: see a repo's worktrees, switch the Source Control view between them with a searchable branch picker, push and pull a worktree's branch (with merge-conflict protection), and start a chat that runs directly inside a worktree. • A new Files tab hosts the repo file tree. Changed • Repo tabs were reordered, and the Overview is now a pinned dashboard with more room for your recent chats. • Source Control refreshes automatically when you come back to it, and supports pull-to-refresh.

Great dev tool

After version 2.0.0 the app is in great shape, been using it daily

Unavailable in Brazil

The app doesn’t work in Brazil at the moment. When I open it, it says an update is required and shows a button to update it on the App Store. However, when it redirects me to the App Store, I get a message saying that the app isn’t available in my region/country.

The app’s idea and purpose are awesome, and that’s the only reason I’m not giving it a 1-star review. I hope you can fix this as soon as possible. I’d be very happy to come back and update my review when the app becomes available again.
