OctoApp is build with iOS in mind and is completely optimized for being used on a iPhone or iPad. The app supports OctoPrint and Klipper (Moonraker, Mainsail and Fluidd), Bambu Lab and Elegoo printers. The UI is structured into three workspaces: Connect, Prepare, Print. The Connect workspace helps you get your printer connected to OctoPrint and as soon as a printer is available OctoApp will move to the Prepare workspace. Here you can get ready for your next print! Heat your hotend, swap filament or level the bed. When you are ready and start your print, OctoApp shows the Print workspace where you can control and tune your print! This concepts allows for a simple and fast UI while not sacrificing on features! OctoApp already offers you: + Easy print preparation + Control your print + Full file access and management + Full terminal access + Flow rate, Feed rate and fan controls + Webcam support (also muticam support) + Dark mode + High performance + Notifications about your print and filament + Gcode Viewer + Support for multiple printers + Many power control plugins like PSU Control or IKEA Tradfri + Automatic lights + PrintTimeGenius support + Support for many of your favourite plugins, like ArcWelder or SpoolManager + Remote connection with supported plugin or manual setup, the app switches automatically + OctoEverywhere integration + Obico integration + Works with VPNs, HTTPS and Basic Auth + And much, much more! There is a new feature update roughly 4-8 weeks! Let me know what you are missing! Important notice for remote connections: The app does not provide required servers. You can either set something up yourself and provide the app with a URL reachable over the internet or use a plugin like OctoEverywhere, The Spaghetti Detective or ngrok. --- OctoApp is made for and compatible with but not officially associated with OctoPrint.
