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!

OpenSCP brings WinSCP's familiar interface and workflow to a native Mac app, built with Swift and AppKit for speed and a true macOS feel. KEY FEATURES • Two interface styles, just like WinSCP: Explorer (single remote pane with directory tree) and Commander (dual-pane local/remote), switchable anytime in Preferences. • Full WinSCP-style function keys: F2 rename, F3 view, F4 edit externally, F5 download/copy, F6 upload/move, F7 new directory, F8 delete, F9 permissions (chmod). • Built-in console: run shell commands in the remote working directory, with command history. • External editor integration: edit remote files in VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Sublime Text, BBEdit, CotEditor, or any installed editor — save locally and the file re-uploads automatically. • Host key verification: fingerprint confirmation on first connect and warnings if a server's key changes, just like OpenSSH. • Sortable file lists (name, size, type, date modified, permissions, owner), icon/list/detail views, and transfer progress with speed and cancel support. • Saved sites sync across your Macs and to the companion iPhone/iPad app via iCloud Keychain (passwords) and iCloud Drive (site settings). • Pure Swift SSH implementation (Citadel / SwiftNIO SSH) — no external binaries required. Currently supports the SFTP protocol. OpenSCP is free with up to 3 saved sites and 1 session at a time. OpenSCP Pro (one-time purchase) removes those limits for unlimited saved sites and simultaneous sessions.
