PipeChecker
Read full descriptionHide full description
I needed a way to check my pipelines, merge requests, and issues in my organization's GitLab instance, but couldn't authenticate using a physical token on my iPhone. So I made PipeChecker. Utilizing their extensive API documentation your phone can now act like any other IDE and access the instance using your personal access token. By inputting the base URL and your personal access token you can conveniently check on your GitLab-hosted assets. Terms of use: https://www.pilkfam.com/lukepilkappsupport/lukepilkapps_eula
SuperDown

SuperDown moves big files fast. Instead of pulling a file through one connection, it splits the download into parts and fetches them all at the same time, so disk images, video projects, datasets and installers arrive in a fraction of the time. WHAT IT DOES ⢠Parallel transfers. Every file is fetched over up to 32 connections at once, and you choose how many. ⢠Pause and resume. Stop a transfer and pick it up later, even after a restart, without starting over. ⢠Reliable results. Every part is checked against what the server promised, so a dropped connection never leaves you with a corrupt file. ⢠Automatic organization. Files land in Video, Music, Documents, Images, Applications or Compressed folders on their own. ⢠Clipboard detection. Copy a link and SuperDown offers to fetch it. It never reads your clipboard unless you ask. ⢠Speed limit. Cap bandwidth so calls and streaming stay smooth while transfers run. ⢠Schedule. Queue a link now and have it start tonight. ⢠Tricky links. Redirects and landing pages that hide the real file are followed automatically. ON MAC A native macOS app with a sidebar, search, sorting and keyboard shortcuts. Files are saved to Downloads/SuperDown. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Transfers keep running in the background, and a Live Activity shows progress in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. Finished files appear in the Files app under On My iPhone > SuperDown, ready to open or share. One app for Mac, iPhone and iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no tracking. SuperDown connects only to the servers you download from.
