Source Files User Reviews

Great app!

Thanks for this quality app!

Unfortunately hidden dot folders and files don't appear in the Files app, although they're visible in the Source Files app. Is this intended or could be fixed?

Response from developer

This is unfortunately outside my control. The Files app is told about all files, including those starting with a dot, but it decides to hide them, with no way for the app or the user to change this. I have asked Apple to add a setting to show hidden files.

Elegant, grownup software

Anders has worked hard to make something that feels simple. If you’ve ever tried to get the Google Drive iOS app to play nice with the native Files app you’ll know how janky it is when things seem to work but don’t really. Source is the opposite. Takes something that feels like perhaps it shouldn’t work and presents GitHub repos as a transparent file system.

Being able to use GitHub just like a Dropbox or iCloud file store is great - if you need that obvs. I have all my markdown notes there and iA Writer can access them happily.

Very useful!

This is a great app, very thoughtfully designed with all the little features that matter. If you ever wanted a simple way to browse and edit files in your git repos, this is the app you’re looking for!

Excellent

Incredibly useful in the world of local AI agents. e.g., a great way to share files with OpenClaw.

Not useful

Better off just using the websites

Great idea from a developer known for making great tools

Now, if it had Gitea support, it would be perfect… I stand corrected. Now with Gitea support. Thanks Anders!

Response from developer

This took some time but now the app has Gitea support.

Awesome idea and great implementation

Please keep developing and growing this project. Very useful!

I love this app!

This has been one heck of an application! A joy to experience. Learning within the application is difficult. You really have to be able to pick apart the nuances with a critical ehe.
a suggestion for improvements would be to make it be more easy for the user to navigate.

Gut

Leider sind nur begrenzte Hoster möglich. Leider kann ich nicht beliebige Repositories einbinden.

Easy and secure

Great app

… but unfortunately it phones home without asking the user.

Response from developer

The app collects anonymous usage information using TelemetryDeck and does not share this data with third parties. While you have concerns about this, I encourage other users to read the privacy policy and reach their own conclusion.

Source Files + git + shortcut app integration

Id give more than 5 stars if I could. This app speeds up a few tasks in a way that no other app has. It’s written by Anders, what else did you expect?! Perfection

Really useful, just a couple of niggles

This is so useful for integration with anything supporting a File Provider. A couple of features I would like:

- Be able to batch commits and specify a message (ideally with AI commit summaries with emoji following conventional-commits). Should be optional, with commit on edit being the default.
- Commit signing with SSH or GPG keys. SSH keys are probably easier.

Awesome

Does everything I need

Cool.

Cool.

App prompt you to turn off renew receipt.

This is new low for Mac Apps. This app will prompt you to turn off renew email from Apple to avoid cancellation right after you accept 7 days trial.

Response from developer

I'm now sure why you are being asked to turn off renewal emails. This is not something the app controls or wants to happen.

Cool.
